Does this compile for you?
it says error in "hwnd win = FindWindow(NULL, UserInput)" its the word userinput thats the error
When there is a problem with your code, you need to provide as much information as possible to those who might help. Otherwise, it's obvious you aren't willing to put any effort into the thread, so why should anyone else?

The Windows API is C. You can't feed a C++ string to a C API.
ya i dont know how to provide alot of information about it but suppose you type in ROBLOX ( game window name ) then it should terminate the process and the error is in "hwnd win = FindWindow(NULL, UserInput)" the word "UserInput" is underlined
Again, the Windows API is C. You can't feed a C++ string to a C API.

HWND win = FindWindow(NULL, UserInput.c_str());


ya i dont know how to provide alot of information

Well, for instance, if something doesn't compile, your compiler gives you a reason why. Copy-and-pasting the reason(s) in your post would be a good start.
ya it worked i didnt reply in a long time
