    On a Windows 10 1809 system I have opened up Winword 5 times.  so on my Taskbar when you hover over the Winword icon you'll see 5 different docs show up.   Running this command does not kill all 5, it only kills 1 instance of Winword

    Get-Process winword |   Foreach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null } | stop-process –force

    why?  How do I kill all running Winword instances regardless of how many are open?

    yes, that closed all threads.   I don't understand why your code closed all Winword and mine, using a ForEach did not.
