Hi,
system('taskkill /F /IM EXCEL.EXE')
and
system('taskkill /F /IM SCREENSKETCH.EXE') (for Snip & Sketch application in Windows10)
work smoothly in my Windows10-64bit computer,
with MATLAB2020a.
Two occurance of '\' in the above comment by Adam Danz is replaced with '/' and this avoided the error such as:
ERROR: Invalid argument/option - '\F'.
Type "TASKKILL /?" for usage. )
With kind regards,
EI

Hi Sam,
how are you? I tried this code and it closes all instance of excel - can it close the last one only? I have a bunch of excel ghost processes after using excel link

worked perfectly. Watched the Microsoft Excel process being dumped after running !taskkill. Thank you for responding, Sam, I've been looking for this solution for at least 5 years.
