In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to quickly close an app when it’s not responding on Windows 10 using the Settings app and Task Manager.
In the past, you were only able to use Task Manager to terminate the app, but on a continue effort to consolidate all the Windows 10 settings in one place, the Settings app now include an option to terminate apps within the app settings page. Usually, you’ll notice this, because in the app title bar, you’ll see a “Not responding” message and the app will simply become unresponsive. On Windows 10, every now and then, you’ll come across apps that will start acting up and stop responding.
