Difference between terminating and closing process?

Closing first sends a message signaling the process to end, allowing it a chance to gracefully close. Termination forcibly ends the process.

Thank you. Is there a way to make an application not run when processlasso is running(all the time for me) or to make it terminate it on startup?

Yes, that is the Disallowed Processes feature. See https://bitsum.com/processlasso-docs/#auto_terminate

You can create a script that runs at system startup to ensure the application is terminated if it starts.

While closing a process usually refers to the user-initiated action of shutting down an application in a controlled manner, terminating a process is a larger concept that entails ending the execution of a program and releasing associated resources. Closing a process frequently results in the underlying process ending as well.
