Can't end multiple processes at once in Windows 10 Task Manager?
I tried holding down the Ctrl or Shift key in Task Manager to select multiple processes and end them all at once, but it didn’t work, and there’s no batch option in the right-click menu either. Does the Windows 10 Task Manager not support ending multiple processes at once, or is there a specific way to do this?

The standard Task Manager interface is designed for single-process management to prevent accidental termination of critical system processes.
You're correct that in Windows 10 Task Manager, holding down Ctrl or Shift and clicking processes doesn't support multi-select for ending multiple processes at once. The right-click menu in Task Manager does not offer a batch or multi-select option to terminate several processes simultaneously.
