Windows 11 to Let You Force Quit Apps From the Taskbar
This happens all the time to Windows users and is very frustrating. Sometimes I am using a program and it suddenly freezes and shows a white translucent layer across the window or screen. Simply closing the rogue app by clicking the X on the window or using the keyboard shortcut Alt+F4 does not work, so there is only one option. to force the program to quit. This is also known as “end task” or “kill task”.
We have a complete tutorial on how to force quit a Windows app, or force quit from the entire OS. However, each current method requires opening a separate menu or app, such as Task Manager or Command Prompt. Microsoft is currently working on an “End Task” option that appears when you right-click on an application’s taskbar icon, allowing you to force quit directly from the context menu.
This sounds like a great feature, but before you pop the champagne cork, be aware that the “End Task” option is currently only available in preview on some early Windows Insider builds. please give me. These builds don’t actually work yet.
In the latest Dev Channel version of Windows 11, Build 23430,[設定]->[プライバシーとセキュリティ]->[開発者向け]If you go to the menu, there is an option to enable “End Task”.You can turn it on there, but in fact even if you right click on the taskbar icon[タスクの終了]I don’t see any options. Settings menu.

Interestingly, based on its placement in the developer settings menu, Microsoft seems to have disabled the End Task feature by default, seeing it as an option mostly used by programmers. Testing an app and watching it freeze is a big part of the debugging process, so developers certainly benefit from being able to kill apps they’re working on.
However, in reality, any app can freeze and should be killed. Microsoft probably doesn’t want to encourage you to force quit an unfrozen app, as doing so can result in data loss or file corruption. Either way, once the end task feature is actually working and you have a stable build, I would recommend turning it on and doing the same. Do not use except
