Quite often double click on the close button will kill a hung app on Windows. Not Al the time, maybe 70%.
think both of them wait a while, and then ask if you want to eviscerate it
taskill /F /IM app.exeThere you go
Nah, CTRL SHIFT ESC … Click and it’s gone
I feel like it’s easy enough to kill on windoes as well. Windows is down to about once every two years where it completely hangs.
I haven’t had a issue with Windows in at least 8 years. Admittedly I primarily use Linux but still. It isn’t the unstable mess people here thing it is. It isn’t private in the least but that’s a different story.
Too much typing.
alias kill="kill -9"That’s Linux not Windows
still too much typing. pull the plug of your pc
Tbf, thanks to X11 Linux isn’t safe from stuff like that.
When I use my VR glasses, Steam sometimes creates an uncloseable X window that isn’t attached to any process. I don’t think even killing XWayland gets rid of it.
On Plasma Desktop, pressing Ctrl+Alt+ESC kills anything you click on next, instantly. There is truly nothing you can’t kill that way, even the desktop itself.
Don’t think I haven’t tried that.
I also tried the debug menu,
xkillusing the window ID, … it’s immortal.Have you tried silver, crosses or a stake?
Do I need to #include those first?
wow that sounds so handy, thanks
is that just shortcut to xkill? or own system?
I assume it’s a different system since it works on Wayland, but idk
I don’t know, but I think it’s works on Wayland too. Probably something built in.
I’ve run into this, seems like steam VR can’t relaunch properly unless you close till that dead window with a reboot.
kill -9😎You really shouldn’t do that. You risk leaving behind children and locks
Hey man, I’ve got a hammer, and that process looks a lot like a nail.
The process looks like a buggy application
When ive tried asking nicely ima call up my friend sudo.
Damn kids these days.

There’s an old addage when working with any Microsoft product:
“Wait longer”
In other words, your first click was probably doing its thing. You just needed to wait a little longer to see it work.
The wonders of running everything synchronously in the UI event loop…
