Process Not Found in tasklist Command

Notes on what to do and the cause when a process name is not found in the tasklist command.

I recently ran into a situation where autohotkey couldn’t be found even when running tasklist in cmd. This can happen not just with AutoHotkey, but with other software as well.

>tasklist|find "AutoHotkey"
AutoHotkey.exe                8532 Console                    1     10,360 K

>tasklist|find "autohotkey"

>tasklist|find "Auto"
AutoHotkey.exe                8532 Console                    1     10,360 K

It seems to be something like this.

At least cmd’s tasklist appears to be case-sensitive for process names.

For AutoHotkey specifically, it means you need to enter AutoHotkey, not autohotkey, for it to appear.
