You should not be using TerminateProcess() at all, unless absolutely necessary. TerminateProcess() is a brute-force termination. Why are you not letting the process terminate itself normally? > How can I check in the meantime if the app is still running > and not been terminated by someone else? Use GetExitCodeProcess().
