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.
When using Windows 11 Canary Build 25336, the latest build of the Canary (unstable) channel, the End Task option was not available in settings and was not enabled by default. however, ViveTool GUI AppTurning on EndTask, a utility that can enable hidden Windows features that are off by default, made them appear in the right-click menu.
That said, for the apps I’ve tried (Edge, Winver, Notepad)[タスクの終了]When I actually clicked the option, nothing actually happened.However, the behavior is from the task manager[タスクの終了]You can imagine the same as clicking .
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
