TaskList shows incorrect data - Use PowerShell instead
TaskList shows incorrect data - Use PowerShell instead
Tasklist seems to show strange results when using /FI CPUTIME ge and gt. Below are some examples:

When using the ge option, the result doesn't match what the input filter is. This is resolved (at least for me) by using a powershell scriptlet.
Get-Process tsadmin | where { $_.CPU -gt 300 }
This produces the correct output of process with long cputimes. You can then run this one to end them:
Get-Process tsadmin | where { $_.CPU -gt 300 } | Stop-Process
