How to Add Kill All Not Responding Tasks Context Menu in Windows 10
The Kill all not responding tasks desktop context menu item will allow users to be able to quickly kill any "not responding" task processes all at once.
This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the 'Kill all not responding tasks' desktop context menu for all users in Windows 10.
While you must be signed in as an administrator to add or remove the context menu, all users can use the context menu.
You will see a No tasks running with the specified criteria message below when using the context menu if there are currently no "not responding" tasks running.
If there were any not responding tasks running, then they would be listed as being killed instead.
