KillEmAll is a portable utility designed to kill all non-essential programs immediately except for essential Windows programs.

You can consider this a total panic button designed to thoroughly neutralize, terminate, and later identify all non-essential running programs. This version has no interface or any other features of note. It is down and dirty and does not show you what was terminated. You just run the .exe, and it will terminate unnecessary programs running under any standard user account. If you have Windows configured with UAC enabled (default), then you also have the option to right-click and Run as administrator to kill any other programs running under an Administrator/System account. Once complete, it displays a prompt, but it can be scripted to display no prompt bypassing /auto to it on the command line, i.e., KillEmAll.exe /auto.

KillEmAll is a fast and simple option for killing processes for those times when you need to kill them all without the need to adjust settings from a GUI. The GUI version is still available but is no longer maintained or updated.
