When I ran taskkill to stop the javaw exe process it would say it had terminated but remained running  The jqs process  java qucikstart  needs to be stopped also  Running this batch file took care of the issue   taskkill  f  im jqs exe taskkill  f  im javaw exe taskkill  f  im java exe

It is rather messy but you need to do something like the following   START  do something window  dir FOR  F  tokens 2   I in   TASKLIST  NH  FI  WINDOWTITLE eq do something window     DO SET PID  I ECHO  PID  TASKKILL  PID  PID    Found this on this page    This kind of thing is much easier if you have a UNIX   LINUX system     or if you run Cygwin or similar on Windows

Normally I don t have that many Java processes open so  taskkill  im javaw exe   or  taskkill  im java exe   should suffice  This will kill all instances of Java  though
