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
Clicking the X button is a request to the program to terminate itself and close. If the program is frozen, it won’t be able to do that.
A command from task manager tells the CPU directly to stop running that program and to discard it from the current task list.
