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

833 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?

The real ELI5 explanation: Pressing the close button is like asking you to leave the room. Using the task manager to end an application is the same as your parents dragging you out of the room.
