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
Because the “close” button asks politely, while the task manager is like [forcefully throwing somebody out of the door](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvJeATp31dw).
In general you want the first one, because it allows things to finish in an orderly manner, and allows the program to ask “Do you want to save the last 6 hours of work?”
