But not having a convenient way to do so has been a bane of my existence, and I’m certainly not alone here. I do realize there’s a method to Windows’ madness: force-quitting an app could lead to corrupted files. It is, therefore, not exactly a straightforward process, and many non-Windows savvy users often end up having to Google ‘how to force quit an app on Windows’ to do so. Or, more annoyingly, you have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE and shut down the whole system. Force quitting an app on Windows is a painĬurrently, to end a program on Windows that’s essentially frozen – and therefore cannot be shut down by tapping the X button, clicking on the ‘Close window’ option, or pressing Alt + F4 – you have to open Task Manager or the Windows Command Prompt and close the offending app from there. Still, this find points to Microsoft possibly making the force quit option easily accessible for all users, and I think it’s going to be a welcome update.
