Processes end under Windows
If a program can no longer be closed, you can force it to close using "End processes". We'll show you how to do it.
Windows: End processes via Task Manager
- Open the Task Manager with the shortcut [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del].
- Now click on the "Processes" tab in the Task Manager.
- Select the process you are looking for (eg "firefox.exe) and click on" End process "(see picture).
- Warning: You should only end processes that you know.
- Our tip: If you want to end the software process, right-click on the program under "Applications" and select "Switch to process".
Here we show what the task manager can do.
