What is the proper way to close unresponsive processes?
I used taskkill so far to kill unresponsive processes:
However I read this is not a safe way to close process! It could mess up registry, or Windows, or program data!!!Code:taskkill.exe /F /FI "status eq NOT RESPONDING"
There is also cmdlet: Stop-Process, it works similarly. But I have no idea, if this is any better. Still you need to force process to close, otherwise it won't close! Taskkill might be still better than hard restart tho! Games freeze a lot of times on alt-tab, or bug... This saved me from hardrestart many times!
