Force Quit Programs in Windows 10
Whenever a Program becomes unresponsive in Windows 10, you may see a message reading “The program (Name) is not responding”. Depending on the nature of the problem, the stuck Program may automatically recover (after waiting for a while) or continue to hang up forever. If the program does not recover, you may find the screen of your computer becoming frozen and you won’t be able to use your computer. Instead of shutting down the computer using Power button, a better way to get out of this situation is to Force Quit the unresponsive Program using Task Manager.
