Chapter 10. Processes, Tasks, and Services > Suspending a Process
Recipe 10.4. Suspending a Process
Problem
You want to suspend a process from running. This is helpful if you want to temporarily stop an application, perhaps due to high CPU consumption, but you don't want to kill it. This can give you an opportunity to launch further diagnostics utilities to troubleshoot the process.
Solution
Using downloadable software
Open the Sysinternals Process Explorer tool (procexp.exe).
To suspend a process, right-click on the target process and select Suspend.
To resume a process, right-click on the target process and select Resume.
