PS Kill Steam Processes

kill_steam_processes.ps1

<# 

Steam has an annoying habit of leaving a process hanging when it crashes.
This script finds the process ID and kills it. 

#>

# Get the Steam processes
$steam_processes = Get-Process | Where {$_.name -like "Steam"}

if ($steam_processes -eq $null) {
    Write-Host "No current Steam processes."

} else {
    ForEach ($proc in $steam_processes) {
        # Get the process ID associated w/ Steam
        $current_id = $proc.Id
        $string_out = "Killing {0}" -f $current_id
        Write-Host $string_out

        # Kill Steam process
        Stop-Process $current_id

        # Open Task Manager to verify
        #taskmgr
    }
