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

834 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?

Pressing the X is like telling someone to leave. Ending the task is like physically removing them.

When you press the X, you’re telling the program to shut down. When you end task, you’re telling your computer to stop running the program.
