My PC's prolly gonna die soon!🙂

taskkill /f /im whatever.exe

@kamen ngl that didn't work as well🙂
Tried restarting but it got stuck on restart screen
So i switched it off forcefully and its been working really slow after tht.

My lappy always starts behaving like this whenever there's any update coming and start working fine after taking 6hrs to get its windows ready and few more hrs for the update

KILL ME!!!😫

That problem is pretty common and usually can be fixed by installing Linux...

@Oktokolo the best solution..but i'm too lazy to do tht

Managers are all the same, even Task Managers

@rEaL-jAsE tht shit is useless
Unless i properly restart it the old school way spending many wasteful hrs
It wont work properly

@rEaL-jAsE I have no serious problems with Windows 10 hence no reason to downgrade (and even if I did, Windows 7 would've been very far from my considerations). I just suggested something that might work if for some reason just closing the app normally (or indeed through Task Manager) does not.

@rEaL-jAsE There are instances when just Task Manager is acting weird.

Still, sometimes it's explorer.exe, locking up Start and everything, and for cases like this (when it wouldn't just restart automatically) it's a good idea to have an alternate way of launching stuff - in my case it's Keypirinha. Chances are that I'd have a VSCode instance open too, so I can launch a terminal in it as well.

All in all though W10 has been pretty stable for me; for 6 years on the very same Insider installation (i.e. no clean installs ever, just upgrades) I don't think I've ever had Task Manager hang; I've had some crashes here and there, maybe around 1 or 2 GSODs/BSODs in total that were related to a problematic build I rushed to install early.

@dontbeevil
Windows rants are normally about stuff, that just can't be fixed without a reinstall.
While in Linux rants, the problems are normally fixable even though it is often hard to do so.

It is much easier to just suggest using an OS where the unfixable problems don't exist than to actually find a fix for a hard problem. And i am pretty lazy...

I also do comment on Linux rants too - there aren't just as many of them.
