Why isn't taskkill in batch working for me?

Question

I'm trying to terminate GTA 5 when it doesn't respond, but when I run the batch file, it says :

"SUCCESS: Sent termination signal to the process with PID 3220."

But it doesn't stop it.

taskkill /fi "imagename eq GTA5.exe" /fi "status eq Not Responding"

I also tried to use tasklist and extract from it if the task isn't responding, but I didn't find out how.

You can give try for this Embed PowerShell code in a batch file
