   Thanks for asking. I was a bit brief. I apologize. I was in a rush.   
      
   It's a batch file. And powershell. It's designed to help you kill what's   
   hurting you. It's like taking two aspirins and calling back in the morning.   
      
   This morning my Windows 10 computer was suddenly slower than a lame dog.   
      
   Nothing was working.   
   I couldn't get the process-explorer three-fingered salute to come up.   
      
   I couldn't even get "whatishang" or "whocrashed" or anything to come up.   
            
      
   So I force rebooted the damn PC & hacked out that script for next time.   
   Then I figured others could use (and improve) the script, so I posted it.   
      
   I keep a runbox pinned to my taskbar so I can run it from there.   
   But anyone can run it from anywhere, as long as it's in your path.   
      
   a. You can run it from the runbox (Win+R)   
   b. You can run it from the command line   
   c. You can run it from the Windows File Explorer GUI   
      
   It will ask you for an elevated prompt.   
   It will switch over to powershell when it needs to.   
   You can set your editor to anything (e.g., to Notepad++).   
      
   In summary, I hacked it out expressly to debug why the PC is slow.   
   And then to kill whatever it is that was mostly slowing down the PC.   
      
   I posted it only so that others would benefit from the work that I did.   
   And maybe they improve it so everyone benefits from every action we take.
