The only thing is that the window closes if it actually opens the program `start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Be2Beat\Be2Beat Multimedia Platform\Be2Beat.exe"` but if the program already running the windows doesn't close.

It should close by itself, but try putting an `exit` command as the last line. If you called the batch file `taskkill` then call it something else. foxidrive – [foxidrive](https://stackoverflow.com/users/2299431/foxidrive "41,377 reputation") 01/27/2014 23:21:04 [Commented Jan 27, 2014 at 23:21](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21386763/batch-file-to-kill-and-restart-not-responding-program#comment32268943_21392504) - Thanks!
