Answer 1

You defined UNICODE in code somewhere or in project settings.

So PROCESSENTRY32 is unicode version, but you use ASCII version of strcmp

The solution is to use another function

#include <wchar.h>
...
if (!wcscmp(entry.szExeFile, process))

or Windows-only ( WinApi function )

#include <windows.h>
...
if (!lstrcmpW(entry.szExeFile, process))

Note that process variable must be wchar_t* or LPWSTR type.

For example:

#include <windows.h>
....

    wchar_t process[] = L"browser.exe"
    ...
    if (!lstrcmpW(entry.szExeFile, process))
