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

This problem seems to be by design. I don't understand why but Windows 10 seems to try to keep you from managing a lot of the OS aspects that were available in Windows 7 and earlier versions. I can kill a scheduling program in windows 7 using task manager
that I have to reboot to end in Windows 10 although the program does disappear from the list. If I don't reboot Windows 10 and restart the program I get the spinning wheel of death.

 

Task manager--where is is?

Right click start menu-select Task manager .You can only end task of programs not files.
Listed under APS. RT-click programs you want to end and select end task.

Why do you need boxes to tick?

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.
