Program Not Responding Fix

Program Not Responding Fix - Often when the computer hangs or there are other
indicators that trigger a program not to be closed, you will mess around with a
program that cannot be closed.
To overcome this, there are actually
several ways that can be done, one of which is to force the program to stop.
Here are some ways to force shutdown programs that don't want to close:
Through the
Task Manager
- You can use the Ctrl + Shift +
Esc keys on your keyboard to open the task manager, or by right-clicking
on the taskbar and selecting task manager.
- Locate and select the
application you want to force shutdown, then right-click and select End
task.
Via Windows
Powershell
Windows Powershell is a command-line
interface that is used for programming commands, besides that it also functions
to stop applications that are running forcibly.
- Press Windows key + R to open
Run, then type Powershell, then enter.
- Type get-process to find out
what programs are running (running)
- Type kill -process name
[program-name], then press Enter. For example, if you want to kill Opera:
kill -process name opera, then Enter.
- Or you can use another command:
stop-process [program-name], then press Enter.
- Via Command Prompt
How to force kill a program You can
use the command prompt to force a running program to stop by:
Press Windows key + R to open run
then to open a command prompt application type cmd, then Enter.
- To see what programs are
running on your computer type tasklist in the cmd window
- Use the command taskkill / im
[program-name]. For example, I want to turn off the sticky notes program,
so the command is: taskkill / im stikynot.exe. The program is successfully
shut down if the reply is successful.
- Or you can also use another
command: taskkill / pid 5496, which is to kill the program according to
its PID. For example, the PID of sticky notes is 5496.
Those's three ways to forcibly
shut down the program, hopefully, the above method can provide a solution
for you, especially for programs that don't want to be closed.
