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
