How can the Task Manager in Windows or Force Quit in macOS close frozen, suspended, unresponding programs instantly. What do they do different than clicking the X button in the corner?
In: Technology
When an application is running in the background it’s typing up system resources, clicking the x in the corner sends a signal to the application to quit when it’s able to. Using task manager or close frozen, or a shell, will send a different kind of signal that forces the app to kill whatever it’s doing and the CPU stops allocating those resources.
