KillEmAll Mini [a ‘panic‘ button designed to identify and terminate all non-essential processes] 23.3.21 - 2023-03-21

KillEmAll Mini is a ‘panic‘ button with an ‘ask questions later‘ attitude, designed to identify and terminate all non-essential running programs.  Great for quickly closing unwanted apps, system inspection, and even malware removal!

Simply run the .exe and it terminates unnecessary programs running under any standard user account.  If your Windows is configured with UAC enabled (default) then you can right-click and choose Run as Administrator to kill all other programs running under an Administrator/System account.

If started via Windows Explorer, KillEmAll Mini will display a ‘press any key to exit’ prompt when completed, giving you the option to press ‘L’ to generate a log file.  When started from a console window you will not see this prompt.

Hold down the CTRL key while starting KillEmAll Mini to start in DEBUG mode, allowing you to terminate each process one by one, optionally skipping termination of certain processes, and (with v21.1.4 or later) optionally allowing you to ‘Google’ each file to terminate.

Hold down the SHIFT key while starting KillEmAll Mini as Administrator to automatically run under the TrustedInstaller account, bypassing the security permissions of other processes.

Obviously, any data used by the applications being closed, if not previously saved, will be lost!

Current Version v21.1.27 (Released January 27th, 2021)

KillEmAll Mini is FREE for both personal and commercial usage.

• v23.3.21
  • Updated internal whitelist for newer Windows 10/11 critical processes that have appeared with recent Windows updates.
•  v21.12.21.1
  • Updated to work when run from inside Windows Terminal (without killing itself or any other tabs open in the same Windows Terminal session!)
•  v21.12.20
  • Added config setting to log skipped processes in Debug mode.
•  v21.12.13
  • Fixed an issue with a very specific incorrect instance of file hashing causing a re-upload of the file to VirusTotal, and the function never retrieves a result, it just continued to upload any time the file is queried subsequently.  The fix actually requires .NET Framework 4.0, if it isn’t installed the potentially incorrect code will be used (but this appears to be an issue on Windows 10, and since all versions of Windows 10 will .NET Framework 4.0, you can always expect a correct result.
  • Fixed tab order on the KillEmAll Configuration dialog.
