How to get all instances of WINWORD Process in vb.net

Question

I want to get all the instances of WINWORD processes. As shown in image i have running two windows in WINWORD process. I want to get their file name and path.

Here is my code

 Dim processStartEvent As ManagementEventWatcher = New ManagementEventWatcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ProcessStartTrace")
    Dim processStopEvent As ManagementEventWatcher = New ManagementEventWatcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ProcessStopTrace")

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
        AddHandler processStartEvent.EventArrived, AddressOf Me.processStartEvent_EventArrived
        processStartEvent.Start()
        AddHandler processStopEvent.EventArrived, AddressOf Me.processStopEvent_EventArrived
        processStopEvent.Start()

    End Sub

    Private Sub processStartEvent_EventArrived(EventArrivedEventArgs, e)
        Dim processName As String = e.NewEvent.Properties("ProcessName").Value.ToString
        Dim processID As String = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewEvent.Properties("ProcessID").Value).ToString
        FileIO.WriteToFile("+ Process started. Name: " & processName & " | ID: " + processID)
        FileIO.WriteToFile(" | Date & Time: ")
        FileIO.WriteToFile(System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine)
    End Sub

    Private Sub processStopEvent_EventArrived(EventArrivedEventArgs, e)
        Dim processName As String = e.NewEvent.Properties("ProcessName").Value.ToString
        Dim processID As String = Convert.ToInt32(e.NewEvent.Properties("ProcessID").Value).ToString
        FileIO.WriteToFile("- Process stopped. Name: " & processName & " | ID: " + processID)
        FileIO.WriteToFile(" | Date & Time: ")
        FileIO.WriteToFile(System.DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss") & vbNewLine & vbNewLine)
    End Sub

I am getting Process name, ID and Date and Time of a Process. I want to get instances of a Processes.

I am using this code for Word Instances but it is doing nothing for me.

Public Class MyNewService Dim tmr As Timers.Timer

Public Sub New()
    InitializeComponent()
    Try
        Dim allProcesses = Process.GetProcesses().Where(Function(p) p.ProcessName.Contains("WINWORD.EXE"))
        Dim windowTitles = ChildWindowManager.GetChildWindowTitles(allProcesses.First().Id)
        For Each title In windowTitles
            If (title.Contains("- Word")) Then
                FileIO.WriteToFile(title)
            End If
        Next
    Catch ex As Exception
    End Try
End Sub

    End Function

    <DllImport("user32.dll")>
    Public Shared Function GetWindowText(ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal lpString As System.Text.StringBuilder, ByVal cch As Integer) As Integer

                                             Return True
                                         End Function, IntPtr.Zero)
        Next
        Return windowHandles
    End Function

    Private Shared Function GetWindowTitle(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr) As String
        Dim length As Integer = GetWindowTextLength(hWnd)
        If length = 0 Then Return Nothing

        Dim titleStringBuilder As New Text.StringBuilder("", length)

        GetWindowText(hWnd, titleStringBuilder, titleStringBuilder.Capacity + 1)

        Dim windowTitles As New List(Of String)
        For Each handlee In EnumerateProcessWindowHandles(processId)
            Dim windowText = GetWindowTitle(handlee)
            If windowText <> Nothing Then
                windowTitles.Add(windowText)
            End If
        Next

        Return windowTitles
    End Function

End Class
