Killer

That damn Chrome

Tired of trying to kill processes with the default Windows Task Manager? Selecting one by one? So this is for you.

Killer is an app with concise design which displays the processes, let search between them, order by pid/name/cpu/memory and kill multiple apps (or even all) at once. Besides that, you can also kill the children of the selected process(es), which means, all the other processes created by these (no survival chance).

When you download the installer it will guide you through the options, but there is no need to change anything. Just next next 😉

Tip: If you allow the creation of a desktop icon during the installation, "Ctrl+Shift+K" will open the Killer

Any issue or improvement suggestion can be sent in our discord or in the issues tab

This app doesn't aims to be a complete task manager, even take place of the default one.

Understand also, despite being not a complete solution, these are the requirements by the tools chosen to proceed with this project. Mainly the language and framework.

The standalone executable

Despite requiring less space, it will be decompressed every time it is called, slowing down the startup and unallowing any configuration for being saved. That is why the recommended way is using the installer killer-setup.exe

⬆️Update

For updating this app, just download and follow with the installation to the same folder used before.

It's known the hotkey "Ctrl+Shift+K" may not work until the next user logon

As pointed out in #2, Killer versions < 0.7.3 can be misundertood as viruses due to specific compilation problems. If you experienced this, just update the app.
