Why does ending a task from task manager work better than canceling a program?

730 views

When a computer starts to freeze or operate slowly and doesn’t respond, ending the task(s) from the task manager usually ends the program and the problem. Why does this work better than simply canceling the task with ALT+F4/pressing the cancel button in the window?

Close command has to be processed by the program. It has to finish processing whatever it’s stuck on before handling it.

Task manager kill just whacks the program.
