How to kill the live-server from windows machine using sublime text 3

Question

So I am building a react app using npm, the problem is whenever I start the live-server to update the website automatically for any changes I make in the code, the terminal just freezes and it does not let me type anything. I am opening the terminal on windows 10 on the editor sublime text itself.

If you want to stop running the server (meaning your app will no longer be available on localhost), you should be able to use ctrl+ c to stop any running processes in the current terminal tab.

When you’re running a server/process in terminal, you’ll need to open a separate tab/window to do anything else.

You should look at the documentation for the terminal package you’re using in Sublime to find out how to open a new tab, or just use the built-in terminal which definitely supports multiple tabs/windows.

I'm not sure but are u using live-server package? If you are u can specify wait parameter before starting server something like this

var liveServer=require("live-server");
var params={          
 wait= 1000   //thats in ms milliseconds
};
liveServer.start(params);

Taken from official documentation. If u wana kill it then u have to do it manually like JBallin said
