\n\"Windows<\/p>\n

If you need to force a frozen or buggy app<\/a>lication to close in Windows 10, you can end a task easily using Windows\u2019 built-in Task Manager utility. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n

First, open Task Manager. To do so, right-click the taskbar and select \u201cTask Manager\u201d from the pop-up menu. Alternately, you can press Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open it, or press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and select \u201cTask Manager\u201d from the screen that appears.<\/p>\n

\"Right-click<\/p>\n

If Task Manager opens in simple mode and you see the name of the task you\u2019d like to end listed, simply select the app name from the list and click the \u201cEnd Task\u201d button.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> If you end a task without first saving your work you could lose data. It\u2019s best to close the application normally, if possible.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

The task will end. If the task isn\u2019t listed in simple mode or if you\u2019d like to take a deeper look at what\u2019s going on first, click the \u201cMore details\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

After expanding Task Manager to show more details, you\u2019ll see a list of processes (programs running on your computer) with information about how much CPU, memory, disk activity, and network bandwidth they are using.<\/p>\n

In the list of processes, select the task you\u2019d like to force to quit, then click the \u201cEnd Task\u201d button in the lower-right corner of the window.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> You could lose unsaved work in an application if you end the task without saving your work. Additionally, you can use this window to end important operating system tasks. If you do, Windows may behave unusually until you reboot it.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n

After that, the program will close. If you find yourself frequently ending the task of a particularly troublesome app, consider updating the app or Windows itself, both of which might solve an underlying bug that is causing the problem. Good luck!<\/p>\n
