How to exit program using autohotkey?

I am using autohotkey to do some automate process.

I need help with closing chrome.exe

**I tried**



Process, Close, chrome.exe
; or
Run taskkill /im chrome.exe

but it give me chrome crashed error when I start it again.

Thanks

Use `WinClose` to send a close message to the window, rather than killing the process:

SetTitleMatchMode 2
WinClose Google Chrome

) works well if a _single_ Chrome window (typically containing multiple _tabs_) is open.

However, **more work is needed if you want to close _all_ open Chrome windows**:

; Get all hWnds (window IDs) created by chrome.exe processes.
WinGet hWnds, List, ahk_exe chrome.exe

; Loop over all hWnds and close them.
Loop, %hWnds%
{
hWnd := % hWnds%A_Index% ; get next hWnd
WinClose, ahk_id %hWnd%
}

Also note that the [`WinClose` documentation](

) calls using `WinClose`'s use of the `WM_CLOSE` message "somewhat forceful" and suggests the following `PostMessage` alternative, which mimics the user action of pressing <kbd>Alt-F4</kbd> or using the Window menu's `Close` item:

; Get all hWnds (window IDs) created by chrome.exe processes.
WinGet hWnds, List, ahk_exe chrome.exe

; Loop over all hWnds and close them.
Loop, %hWnds%
{
hWnd := % hWnds%A_Index% ; get next hWnd
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF060,,, ahk_id %hWnd%
}

Here is a function for 'soft closing' specific processes:

CloseAllInstances( exename )
{
WinGet LhWnd, List, % "ahk_exe " exename
Loop, %LhWnd%
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF060,,, % "ahk_id " LhWnd%A_Index%
}

So you simply need to call the following line to close all chrome instances:

CloseAllInstances( "chrome.exe" )
