    Hi,

    I am installing Greenshot. At the end Greenshot will open an IE Window. Is it possible shutting down this IE process and not all IE Process?

    Thanks,

    One thing I did notice is if you do

    Get-Process -Name iexplore | Select *

    There is a property of StartTime, which you may be able to use by seeing of all the IE processes returned, which ever has the latest time stamp could be the tab that was opened after the install.

    It is but you will need to find the correct PID, as each tab opens a new IE process

    You can use Get-Process to list all current processes, but since an installer is opening IE, I am not sure how to capture that.

    If IE is not opened and the installer opens it then you can just look for a process of iexplore and kill it. But if IE is already opened and it opens a new tab, not 100% sure how to say this PID is for this tab.

    Hi FRacine,

    >>I am installing Greenshot. At the end Greenshot will open an IE Window. Is it possible shutting down this IE process and not all IE Process?

    I suppose this issue is depended on the application.

    And I have installed this on my test machines, encountered the same issue with yours, it appears to be a thank you for downloading website.

    I suppose we really don't worry about this, just manually close it, not need to use PowerShell.

    Best regards,

    Andy
