:idea: You can use PowerShell to close the FileBot Desktop application like so:

powershell: Select all

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle -match "FileBot" } | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10


:idea: You can use PowerShell to close all open applications like so:

powershell: Select all

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle } | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() }
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10


:!: Please close FileBot gracefully before shutdown /f since killing the FileBot process regularly can lead to unexpected issues:
