AI Process Terminate 1.1
AI Process Terminate 1.1
A lightweight Windows utility that terminates desktop AI assistant processes (Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, Codex, …) in one shot — no admin rights needed.
Why
AI desktop apps (Claude, Copilot, Perplexity, Codex and similar) are known to accumulate background processes over time. This can cause:
• System slowdowns — high CPU or RAM pressure from idle AI workers.
• Frozen or unresponsive UI — the app gets stuck but its processes keep running and holding resources.
• GPU saturation — local model runners keep the GPU busy even when the app window is closed.
Killing them from Task Manager is tedious when there are 5–15 scattered processes per tool. AI Process-Terminate groups them by tool and removes the whole tree in one keypress.
What it does
1.Scans all running processes for names that partially match any known AI tool keyword.
2.Groups matches by tool and shows a compact dialog — one row per tool, with the number of running instances in parentheses, e.g. claude (9).
3.Lets you choose which tools to terminate; the others are left untouched.
4.Drains all instances in a loop (up to 20 iterations, 200 ms apart) so that processes that respawn are caught and killed too.
Only processes owned by the current user are affected. System processes and processes owned by other users are skipped gracefully.
