Cancel a PowerShell task
Updated over 2 months ago

To cancel a running task on PowerShell you can use Task Manager or the Windows Console.

Note: In both cases, ShareGate Migrate does not undo what has already been migrated.

How-to

Task Manager

To cancel a running task using Task Manager:

  1. Select Ctrl+Alt+Delete simultaneously to open Windows Task Manager.

  2. Select Windows PowerShell from the list.

  3. Click End Task. This will close PowerShell and kill the running task.

Note: The task may still appear to be running on ShareGate Migrate even though it has ended; this is normal behavior. You may need to restart the application for the task to appear as cancelled.

Windows Console

To cancel a running task using the Windows Console:

  1. Select Ctrl+C.

  2. After a delay, the task will end.
