Answer 1

Try getting the main window title

   foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
   {
      if (clsProcess.ProcessName.Equals("EXCEL")&& clsProcess.MainWindowTitle =="example")  
      {
          clsProcess.CloseMainWindow();
          break;
      }
   }

Use below logic to prevent Zombie Excel processes in Task Manager

 List<int> GetAllExcelProcessID()
    {
       List<int> ProcessID = new List<int>(); 
       if (currentExcelProcessID == -1)
        {
           List<System.Diagnostics.Process> currentExcelProcessList = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL").ToList();
           foreach(var item in currentExcelProcessList)
            {
                ProcessID.Add(item.Id);
            }
        }
       return ProcessID;
    }
int GetApplicationExcelProcessID(List<int> ProcessID1, List<int> ProcessID2)
    {
        foreach(var processid in ProcessID2)
        {
            if (!ProcessID1.Contains(processid)) { currentExcelProcessID = processid; }
        }
        return currentExcelProcessID;
    }
 void KillExcel()
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessById(currentExcelProcessID);
        process.Kill();
    }
 List<int> ProcessID1 = GetAllExcelProcessID();
                excel = new Excel.Application();
                List<int> ProcessID2 = GetAllExcelProcessID();
                currentExcelProcessID = GetApplicationExcelProcessID(ProcessID1, ProcessID2);

Answer 3

You need to check file handles, that are opened by process and then kill it.
How to check which file handles process is holding: How do I get the list of open file handles by process in C#?

foreach (Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
{
    if (clsProcess.ProcessName.Equals("EXCEL") && HasFileHandle(fileName, clsProcess))
    {
       clsProcess.Kill();
       break;
    }
 }

Answer 4

just did a quick search on Google, try Process.MainWindowTitle() to get the title of the Excel process, and decide which one is that you want to kill.

I am not sure about this method, but hope this will help:
