techcental,

Your code is actually broken. Don’t you get an error? 🤔

You could do it like this:

```auto
$Status = 0
@('outlook', 'word') | 
ForEach-Object { 
    if (Get-Process -Name $_ -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
        $Status ++
    }
}
if ($Status -ne 0) {
    'At least one of the processes is running'
}

```
