My solution is to use Process GetProcess   for listing all the processes  By filtering them to contain the processes I want  I can then run Process Kill   method to stop them  var chromeDriverProcesses   Process GetProcesses        Where pr   gt  pr ProcessName     quot chromedriver quot       without   exe       foreach  var process in chromeDriverProcesses         process Kill        Update  In case if want to use async approach with some useful recent methods from the C  8  Async Enumerables   then check this out  const string processName    quot chromedriver quot      without   exe  await Process GetProcesses                 Where pr   gt  pr ProcessName    processName                ToAsyncEnumerable                 ForEachAsync p   gt  p Kill      Note  using async methods doesn t always mean code will run faster  but it will not waste the CPU time and prevent the foreground thread from hanging while doing the operations  In any case  you need to think about what version you might want
