I would like to close all opened windows (from programs, windows explorer, etc…) by using CMD. The easiest way I found is not using CMD but running these two powershell commands:
(New-Object -comObject Shell.Application).Windows() | foreach-object {$_.quit()}
Get-Process | Where-Object {$_.MainWindowTitle -ne ""} | stop-process
Which works pretty well, but I don't know how to execute them right from CMD.
I tried the commands below using powershell -noexit
to execute powershell commands and ^
to ignore some cmd functions, but it does not work:
powershell -noexit "(New-Object -comObject Shell.Application^).Windows(^) ^| foreach-object {$_.quit(^)}"
powershell -noexit "Get-Process ^| Where-Object {$_.MainWindowTitle -ne ""} ^| stop-process"
And I do not want to use taskkill
command or create a .ps1 file and execute it by using start .ps1
either.

Solved by PetSerAl.
Note that
Stop-Process
will actually end the entire process.
