    Hi @mitsurya 

     

    In task manager, right click on process and select Properties

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1681447603844.png

     

    Then you will get the process name

    Or in the action under process name field, you can see dropdown to select the process names 🙂

     

    Hope it helps 🙂

    Mark it as solution if it resolves your query

    Hi @mitsurya 

    Did you tried using Run Dos command 

    Use that action and pass taskkill /IM "process name" /F

    Process name you need to pass app  name.
