Cannot terminate proces: access is denied
- by jao
Skype and Spotify remain active after I close them.
When I try to close them via Task Manager Details End Task, I get the following error: The operation could not be completed. Access is denied. So I have to reboot to get rid of these programs or to log in to Skype again.
Also, running a CMD as administrator and executing taskkill /f /im skype.exe results in an Access is denied error.
What is going on?
(this is Windows 8 RTM x64)
update
I have to kill skype.exe because it crashed and when I restart skype, I get the following error:
It says: Could not open Skype, you are already signed in on this computer.

The process is owned by my own username.
