Did you try the following key combination: CTRL+C
UPDATE
For Windows 10 (cmd, PowerShell) you can use one of this:
- Right CTRL+C
- CTRL+Pause/Break
First use tasklist to show all running tasks. Then use taskkill /PID 1234 to kill a specific task (PID is the second column) or use taskkill /IM program.exe to kill a specific programm (all instances).
Or just use Ctrl+C to kill current running programm in current cmd window.
0The best way:
CTRL + Break(pause)
