The term kill has multiple definitons. In Android it is normal to kill applications. In Windows it is considered undesirable to kill applications. Killing a Windows process should be done only when all other possibilities do not work. It should not be done instead of determining what is the normal way to end a process. In this case, w3wp.exe appears to be associated with IIS application pools. Therefore the normal way to end it would be to use InetMgr.exe to stop the application pool. Or perhaps you would want to stop the website (also using InetMgr.exe ) or perhaps both.

For managing .NET Core processes, you'll typically look for processes named dotnet.exe in the Task Manager. Identify the dotnet.exe Process : Look for processes named dotnet.exe in the Task Manager. Kill the Process : If you need to stop a .NET Core application, you can terminate its corresponding dotnet.exe process in the Task Manager. Use Command-Line Tools : Alternatively, you can also use command-line tools like taskkill in Windows to terminate processes by name or other criteria.

the process model has changed from using the traditional w3wp.exe (for IIS) to a new process called dotnet.exe. This change was introduced to align with the cross-platform nature of .NET Core. an example of how you might use taskkill to terminate a .NET Core process: taskkill /IM dotnet.exe /F Replace /IM dotnet.exe with the appropriate process name if needed.
