Everything is fine until something stops working perfectly on the computer. The same button is clicked several times but the application does not respond. Sometimes, the cursor changes the shape and implies that this application will no longer work the same way as it did at the beginning (it will slow down), or it just won't work. He doesn't listen anymore, but he doesn't disappear either.
The user tries to close the application but the application does not obey. And that's because closing applications that are no longer responding or 'not running', is not easy. Precisely, this is when you have to opt for a force to close applications that no longer work
Sometimes it is enough just to press the regular buttons, click on the buttons or the menu as usual. But that's not always the case. For some reason, the latest app doesn't respond on an odyssey. The solution is definitely with a total restart of the computer. But fortunately there are other solutions without the need to make the last mentioned indication.
Next, Infobae shows how to close these applications that are no longer working and even, it slows down the computer. Sooner or later, you can get the target without having to restart your MacBook or PC. A problem if you have documents or other applications open.
Force quit apps on macOS
If this article has been reached, it is because an application does not listen when you try to close it. It's not popular, but when it happens, it's a nuisance. A feasible solution, and as mentioned in previous paragraphs, is to restart the computer, but if you have you are working on Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint or even on documents from Google Drive, it's not that simple.
In this sense, the Mac puts it in the tray, because it has a menu that shows all the open applications, and allows you to close the window you want 'forcibly. '
To access this menu, go to the Apple menu and select Force Quit. It can also be opened with the Option+Command+Escape keys. Then just select the application that doesn't work, and click the Force Quit button. This will close the application.
As a replacement, you can go to the Activity Monitor. There you will be able to see all the applications, services and processes at that time on macOS. When the app you want to close is found, you simply need to press the button with an X (X).
The operating system may give you two options to choose from. Close or Force close. Then you have to use the first one and, if you don't listen, go to the second one.
And as a last way out, you can always restart your Mac to clean and close applications, whether you want it or not. This method is the most drastic but it serves as a last resort if the previous ones were not enough.
Force apps to close on Windows
When a request refuses to shut down Windows, the first place we should go is Task Manager. Just like on macOS, you'll be able to see all the open applications, processes and services in general.
To open Task Manager, simply press Control+Tab+Escape. You can also search by Windows Search or from the Start menu. In addition, if you right-click on the Windows 11 Start menu, a list of tools will appear, in which the Task Manager option will be visible.
If you don't show open applications on the main tab of Task Manager, click More Details to view open processes. The application that is not working properly can be found here. Click on it, then right click and check the End Task option
Another way to close Windows applications is to use Terminal commands. But instead of opening the command line, you have to use the Run application. Pressing the Windows+R keys will open the executable menu.
Open commands or applications can be launched here. To close the faulty application, enter the taskkill /im program.exe /t command by changing 'program.exe' to the name of the application that you want to close. The downside is knowing that this name may have to be found in Task Manager.
Obtuse applications can also be closed from the Command Prompt. First, you have to search for it in the Start menu and then right-click to open this application as Administrator.
When the console is open, enter the tasklist command to see the list of open processes. When the app you want to close is found, you have to keep its PID.
Therefore, to close this request, you need to use the taskkill /PID 1234 /F command where 1234 is the app's PID. Two or more PID codes can be specified to close two or more applications at once.
