I have found tons of arma3.exe processes in Task Manager on Windows 10. They all have status "Suspended". When I try to kill them, I get the message "Access Denied".

I tried to kill them with cmd using /f /t but it still shows "Access Denied".

After that I tried psexec -s to gain System privileges, but still nothing.

Do you have any idea how to kill those processes?

If you are fine with using a third-party program I would suggest using Process Hacker for this. Process Hacker allows you to search for specific processes (arma in your case) and kill it, and the tree.

I can tell you the steps here how to do it:

Open Process Hacker Using process hacker, search for the process you would like to kill. In this case, I used Steam as an example. When you have the selected process, right-click and either select Terminate or Terminate tree. If you select terminate, it will terminate the process and nothing else, while terminating the tree would kill any process associated with it as well. If the process fails to close, Process Hacker will tell you and ask for UAC permission.

I believe launching command prompt as admin and doing

taskkill /f /im taskname

should do the trick. That's what I've always used and never had any issues with it. You could also try unsuspending it, though I'm not sure it'll help. Go to resource monitor (at the bottom of the performance panel in task manager) and you can unsuspend from there. If none of that works I'm out of ideas.

Nothing better than DTaskManager.exe which can replace taskmanager and terminate any process (or group of process) including system , bypassing permissions: http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/#DTaskManager
