Windows 10: How to force close modern apps via command line or link

Hi

Recently I found that the trick I was using for see the pictures in the old picture viewer is no loger working, so I have to use Photos app instead.

However, that app is very unstable and crashes every time I open a couple instances. Also, It keeps in the main taskbar even when every window is closed.

Is so broken, I'd like to have a link to a "force close" the app.


I don't want to open Settings --> Apps --> wait until the list fills a lot of time --> search for Photos and wait the loading of the icons of the apps while I go down, wich takes more time --> Advanced options --> force close.

I'd like to have a link that forces the close of the app.


If it's a win32 app i can use "taskkill /f /im "application" but this is a windows10 app and there is no "application" to write.


How can I force-close the app with a command or a link?


I have the problem with Photos right now, but I'd like to be able to close any app I need changing something in the command/link


Also, if there is other way to keep using the old W7 picture viewer; I'd prefer that


Thanks

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid

 

Windows 10 Modern Apps Force Close

Recently, I've noticed that almost every Windows 10 Modern apps stopped working including settings, most of built in apps and Cortana (Search). Everytime I open these apps, it force close instantly. Store opens up for couple of seconds and my cursor shows
that it's loading. It freezes after about 2 seconds and it disappeared. Alarms and Clock opens up but when I try to set up an alarm, the app forces close. I've checked task manager to see if there's anything wrong and all I see is ShellExperienceHost, SearchUI
and some other modern apps that I tried to launch such as SystemSettings suspended instantly. I have 2gb of ram and 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor. I've tried sfc scan, dism, WSReset, creating new user (and I got a lockscreen loop and black screen),
Microsoft Safety Scanner, resetting Windows and some other stuffs. Every modern apps work, including Settings only if I am on safe mode. I've tried disabling every start up apps but it still didn't work. I am using Malwarebytes to protect my laptop. I really
need a fix or otherwise I'd have to reinstall Windows 7. Thanks.
