Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand memory property and filtering
TheWorkingSetproperty shows memory usage in bytes. 100 MB equals 100,000,000 bytes approximately.Step 2: Filter processes by memory and stop them
Get-Process -Name chrome | Where-Object { $_.WorkingSet -gt 100000000 } | Stop-Process correctly filters chrome processes with memory usage greater than 100,000,000 bytes and pipes them toStop-Process. Get-Process -Name chrome | Where-Object { $_.WorkingSet -gt 100MB } | Stop-Process uses '100MB' which is invalid syntax. Options C and D use non-existent parameters.Final Answer:
Get-Process -Name chrome | Where-Object { $_.WorkingSet -gt 100000000 } | Stop-Process -> Option AQuick Check:
Memory in bytes filter with Where-Object = A [OK]
Quick Trick: Memory is in bytes; use numeric value, not '100MB' string [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Using '100MB' as a value instead of bytes
- Trying to use Stop-Process parameters that don't exist
- Not filtering processes before stopping
