How To Force Unfunctioning Apps In Windows 11

UNSPLASH ILLUSTRATION

JAKARTA When the application is not responsive or cannot be used, you may want to close the application immediately. This method should be successful to recover the application you are using. However, if the application doesn't want to be closed, you have to think of other ways to close and reopen the application. If you are a computer user with Windows 11, you can forcibly close the application in the following way, reported by How to Geek. Closing with a Keyboard Shortcut When the application on your computer is not working, you can use a shortcut on the keyboard to close the app. Usually, this button works on a responsive or non-responsive application. To use a shortcut on the keyboard, click the application window which doesn't want to close, then press the Alt and F4 buttons on the keyboard. After the lock is pressed at the same time, the application will be immediately closed.

Close App from Windows Taskbar If keyboard shortcuts can't help, you can use another way, which is to close directly from the taskbar. This method is disabled by default so you need to enable it first from the settings. Forced cover options can be enabled by opening Settings, clicking the System menu from the left sidebar, then scroll the panel down to search for the To Developer menu. Next, click Activate on the End of Tasks button. Now, you can go back to the desktop, then right-click on the app icon that can't be closed. After that, select the End of Tasks option and the application that can't operate will be immediately closed.
