So... how do we make Task Manager's "End task" work on a crashed program?
Without rebooting, without scanning for corrupted Windows files, without using console commands, etc. I'm looking to close a crashed program without complexity.
- CustomerXx2Mar 23, 2023Copper ContributorHello Kapil,
aha you believe that my system files are corrupt and want me to check it. But I know what the error is:
I remember with the early versions of windows 3 and 95 about having a typical system freeze - like a blue screen nowadays - and it was necessary then to reboot, and every open program, text etc were lost. And this was first fixed with Windows version XP, it's called multitasking, and the fix is a task MANAGER, so if one task/program blocks the system (freeze), that alone can be force closed and all your other work are saved -> no need to reboot.
Why is this necessary? Because every time a new program - game, application etc - is made, it may have errors that cause an eternal loop in the computer CPU handling atmosphere. That's where a task MANAGER comes in handy, because with windows xp, you could abrupt the current "system freeze" with ctrl-alt-del button, because an abrupt commando takes priority in CPU handling business, and the abrupt call would then direct to only run windows task manager program in which the problem program is listed and can be forcibly closed (managed).
And lately i had a program that caused a freeze -> ask any programmer if it is a typical risc -, and now in windows 11 ctrl-alt-del button does not work as before.
The question is: Is windows supposed to work correctly?
You know the statue of liberty was i believe about slavery, and if the south america had won the socalled civilwar, then the negros would not have wanted windows to work correctly. So maybe it is actually better to trash windows again, don't you agree?
