Let me guess - your code is running as a console application.

When you kill the console host process, you kill your console application.

It sounds like you're trying to cheat or hack the game. We do not condone such activities, and will not help you perform them.

no i run my application in exe file i am trying to open a game with that and prevent an inject hacking game to this game (the hacks that allready exist they are using conhost)

Then it's probably the case that your application doesn't have permission to kill conhost. But without the exception details, we're just guessing.

ok so how i am suppose to give permision to kill the conhost.exe without make my application run us administrator ?

You can't. If you could, that would defeat the whole point of UAC.
