creation
schtasks /create /tn termination /tr "taskkill /f /t /im app.exe" /sc weekly /d mon /st 19:00
creating a task named termination (/tn) that runs weekly (/sc weekly) every monday (/d mon) at start time of 19:00 (/st)
viewing
schtasks /query /tn termination
viewing the created task queried by name
Folder: \
TaskName Next Run Time Status
======================================== ====================== ===============
termination 2014.11.3 7:00:00 PM Ready
ps:
here tasklist terminates the process tree (/t) by it's image name (/im) forcefully (/f) (without prompting for confirmation)

Expanding what @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 has suggested:
Create a scheduled task in task scheduler and task to run should be:
taskkill /im <your application name>.exe /f
You may have to schedule this task to run as administrator.

CMD ->
taskkill /?= "This tool is used to terminate tasks by process id (PID) or image name." – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-10-27T16:32:16.373@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Ok, but do you suggest that the solution is run another .exe at 19:00 which runs process
taskkill /?? Or taskill/? can be run by Windows Scheduler itself? – Yoda – 2014-10-27T21:54:17.003
