Kill process without giving it chance to save data
If this option is selected, Advanced Task Scheduler will kill the process without giving it a chance to save data. If the option is not selected, Advanced Task Scheduler will send window the same message as Windows sends when user clicks the  on the window title. If you are closing an application with unsaved data, it can prompt for confirmation similar to this:
If the option Restore minimized window before closing is not selected, the application's button on the taskbar will blink. When the option is selected, the application window will be restored, and the prompt for saving unsaved data will be sent to foreground.
If the option Kill process is selected, Advanced Task Scheduler can terminate only those processes, which have their own windows. If a process does not have its own window, it can be terminated only when the option Kill process without giving it chance to save data is selected.
IMPORTANT:
USE CAREFULLY THE KILL PROCESS FUNCTION. BE SURE THAT BEFORE USING THIS FUNCTION KILLING PROCESS HAS NO UNSAVED INFORMATION. THE PROCESS WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SAVE ITS STATE OR DATA BEFORE IT IS TERMINATED.
ADVANCED TASK SCHEDULER WILL NOT ASK YOU TO CONFIRM THE PROCESS KILLING.
