How to kill dumpcap.exe - not able to kill it with taskkill running as admin

dumpcap.exe 2.4.5.0

I have two instances of dumpcap.exe running and I am not able to kill them. When trying to kill it through the task manager, I get: "The operation could not be completed - Access is denied"

When trying to kill it with taskkill in an elevated admin command prompt I get: ERROR: The process with PID 16728 could not be terminated. Reason: This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option).

When forcing the taskkill (/f) ERROR: The process with PID <> could not be terminated. Reason: There is no running instance of the task.

I have also collected a series of hangdump (1min interval) if that is useful for you guys
