Task Manager can be opened in a number of ways, but the simplest is to select Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then select Task Manager. In Windows, first click More details to expand the information displayed. From the Processes tab, select Details to see the process ID listed in the PID column. Click on any column name to sort.
To find the PID of a process, type Get-Process . Indicates that the UserName value of the Process object is returned with results of the command. Specifies one or more process objects. Enter a variable that contains the objects, or type a command or expression that gets the objects.
How to get PID using Task Manager. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc on the keyboard. Go to the Processes tab. Right-click the header of the table and select PID in the context menu.
The easiest way to find out if process is running is run ps aux command and grep process name. If you got output along with process name/pid, your process is running.
The following will give you the parent IE process:
(Get-Process -Name iexplore)| Where-Object {$_.MainWindowHandle -eq $ie.HWND}
