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?
In: Technology
Alt+F4 is like asking a guest to leave.
Task Kill is picking them up and throwing them out the window.
Basically the OS sends a message saying “Stop what you are doing gracefully” (Alt+F4) and if it doesn’t it shoots it and attempts to clean up the body (Task Kill).
