		if(hProcess != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
			DebugActiveProcessStop(processid);
			TerminateProcess(hProcess, 0);
			
                        // Wait for max. 10 seconds. This should solve 99.9% of all problems. I hope so ;-)
                        // TODO: If a complex unknown and possibly buggy process is terminated violently, 
                        // then the error codes are hard to interpret and should be displayed to the user.
                        WaitForSingleObject(hProcess,10000);
                        

                        while(threads.GetCount())
				RemoveThread(threads.GetKey(0)); // To CloseHandle
			UnloadModuleSymbols();
			SymCleanup(hProcess);
			CloseHandle(hProcess);
		}


Possibly I have found a problem.
The TerminateProcess() systemcall is asynchronous and returns immediately, eventually before the process is actually terminated.
Also it kills all threads.
(If the documentation is correct)

Possibly a WaitforSingleObject() call must be inserted here.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/process threadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-terminateprocess

I think I will try this, when I am at home.

In a later stage the waiting time could be measured, and if it is longer than 9 seconds then the error codes could be displayed to the user and the user should decide if he/she wants to wait longer and retry or ignore the error codes.
This is more work to implement and not necessary for now.
If this approach works, I would be happy to try to write the code. Wink

Edit:

I have now compiled this and it works so far.
If the aforementioned problem shows up again can only be said after some hours of trial.
