There is two commands in Windows Server, kill and taskkill that seems to have similar functionality. But I want to know their exact differences and their usages.
Can anyone explain it?

There is no native 'kill' command in Windows.– Greg AskewAug 1, 2016 at 16:28

But I can use such command in CMD. It looks like kill command in linux (its options are prefixed by dash). Where does it come from?– AhmadAug 1, 2016 at 18:17

As Greg said, Windows doesn't have a native kill command, PowerShell has a alias kill for Stop-Process. If your cmd.exe responses to kill you have some external command somewhere in your path.
