Azure DevOps Pipeline CMD task [error]Access is denied

Question

I was trying to kill a process CJobs.exe using agent job command line execution task in Azure release pipeline.
My command is:

start /b cmd /c taskkill /IM "CJobs.exe" /F
exit

but it is giving me this error:

##[error]ERROR: The process "CJobs.exe" with PID 12569 could not be terminated.
Reason: Access is denied.

So if any one knows solution for this problem, please help.
ask if more details required in comments.

Answer 1

You can check the log on account of the self-hosted agent in the local service and change the account to the account you need to perform the operation.

Answer 2

In my case this error was solved when I did this configuration on the Azure Pipeline Agent service: I selected the option "Allow service to interact with desktop".

Configuration Services Azure Pipeline Agent

In this way, after restart the service, the pipeline executed successful.
