For those looking for ways to force quit on Windows, there are two ways in which one could close an application that is frozen on their computer – either via Task Manager or by using keyboard shortcuts. You need to hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager, click on the unresponsive application and select “End task.” You could even go for a normal shutdown of the application if its window is active, in which case, you only need to hit Alt+F4. Force quit is helpful when an application becomes unresponsive and halts any work that you have underway.
