    Stop the assessment tool

    Once you've used the assessment tool there will be a background process (microsoft365-assessment.exe) that stays running. This is by design as the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool actually is a web server that runs on your computer. When you use the CLI to instruct the Microsoft 365 Assessment tool you're launching also microsoft365-assessment.exe, but this time in CLI mode. This CLI process will use gRPC to communicate with the running background process on localhost, port 25010.

    The background microsoft365-assessment.exe process can be stopped using various means like your OS task manager or command line, but there's also a stop command that you can use.
