If there is a stuck application that is affecting system performance, you can use Windows 11 Task Manager to end the application process. Windows Task Manager is a tool for monitoring and managing system components and programs.
If you get into the situations where a application not responding and is in a frozen state, you can use Task Manager to force close the stuck process that is slowing down your PC. There are other apps you can use to end a task in Windows 11, but Windows Task Manager is simple, efficient, and already installed.
It can be frustrating when you have a program that won't respond. Instead of shutting down your PC to regain control, which could cause you to lose your work, you can simply force close the problem application or process using the Task Manager. This is how it works.
Quit a program in Windows 11
As mentioned above, Windows Task Manager can be used to view and manage tasks, system performance, and more.
If you have an app that is not compatible with Windows and is causing your computer to crash frequently, you can use the Windows Task Manager to force close the app.
First open Windows task management. There are several ways to open the Task Manager in Windows 11.
You can also press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC on your keyboard to open the Task Manager, or press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and select Task Manager from the screen that appears.
If Task Manager opens in simple mode, click More details to open a comprehensive and detailed processes overview.
After opening Task Manager to show more details, you will see a list of processes under the Processes tab, and information about how much CPU, Memory, Disk Activity, and Network Bandwidth each process uses.
The app that is “not responding” should be in the list of processes. Find the app, usually the one that uses the most system resources, and click the “End” button at the bottom right.
When you end a task or process of a program, the program is forced to close. You will also lose any unsaved work if the program was forced to close by terminating the process.
