Windows 10: How do I close a window that is stuck open as "not responding" after taskkill and end task...

I was recently playing a game on steam which is running on task manager as "sonic2app.exe" and it stopped responding so I went to task manager to end task. I closed steam as well which forces all steam games that are running to stop running immediately, but the game app window is still stuck open on the "not responding" screen and when I use the command "taskkill/ Im sonic2app.exe /f" I get the return message "there is no running instance of the task" but still shows the app as "not responding" on desktop and in task manager with "end task" being unresponsive/ not ending the task.

Task Switcher randomly gets stuck cycling windows


Good morning!

I am having an issue with the Task Switcher (see image below) activating on its own. It then begins to cycle through the open tasks very rapidly. When this happens I am unable to actually select any of the tasks, nor can I close them out. Windows is essentially frozen at this point and I have to restart.

A few things to note:

• I am running Windows 10 Pro.
• This happens randomly, sometimes weeks between an incident.
• Sometimes it happens while I am not even working at the computer. I've noticed it after returning to my desk.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.

 

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection "Not Responding" but cannot be killed

I launched a Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to a remote server. The screen suddenly got frozen while connecting; the title bar indicates (Not Responding).

I opened another window of RDC and it worked.

My problem is that I cannot close the first window that got frozen. I have Windows 10. I tried

• Close the Window. It shows a window with "The application is not responding... Do you want to end this process?". Clicking on button End Process does not do much
  
• Task Manager > End Task
  
• Task Manager > Details > mstsc.exe > end Task
  

No matter what I tried, the frozen window is still here.

Any suggestion except a Logout or a reboot?
