  2. Windows 10 Task Manager "End Task" does not end task.

    Hi Glenn,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    1) Does it show any error message while performing End Task Through
    Task Manager?

    I suggest you to perform Safe Mode with Networking and then try to end the task and check if you’re able to

    Safe mode:

    Please follow below steps:

    • Click on power button at left bottom corner, press and hold
      Shift key and click on Restart.
    • Click on Troubleshoot.
    • Click on Advanced options.
    • Click on Startup Settings.
    • Click on Restart.
    • When your PC starts up, you'll see a light blue screen with the Startup Settings menu. You can now choose an option using your keyboard (number keys or function keys). To start up in Safe Mode, press
      4 or F4. To start up in Safe Mode with networking, press
      5 or F5. To start up in Safe Mode with the Command Prompt, press
      6 or F6. If you change your mind and decide you don't want to boot into Safe Mode after all, hit
      Enter to boot normally.
    Let us know the status of the issue.

    Thanks.
