Try...

SHELL _DONTWAIT "taskkill /f chrome.exe"

I believe _HIDE _DONTWAIT can be used together if a blip of the command window appears without the _HIDE command.

You may experience a crash report by Chrome. This happens with Firefox when taskkill is used.

For additional info, see: https://ss64.com/nt/taskkill.html

Hi Pete,

Thank you for the quick response.

I found that I needed to perform SHELL _DONTWAIT "taskkill /F /T /IM chrome.exe"
