title: (SQL) Server Agent Job not stopping
body: <p>I am using SQL Server 2016, and have some Jobs running in the SQL Server Agent. Today I found one of the job is taking too long (10hours!) to run and is still processing, so I try to stop that. I tried right-click and stop the job, it showed a success message. However, when I go to the Job Activity Monitor, it is showing that the job is still running! I also tried the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>USE [msdb]
  GO
  EXEC dbo.sp_stop_job N'Process Reserving MI (except problematic tables)' 
  GO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It also says the job stopped successfully. But again when I go to the Job Activity Monitor, it is showing that the job is still running!</p>
  
  <p>Can any one please help?</p>
