We’ve all had the situation of “Program Not Responding” wait or end it…except even choosing to end some doesn’t.
Here are five task killers which will do it for you in Windows, Android and Linux.
The source of this is here: LINK. each app has a mini review, and the article really is worth looking at.
Process Hacker and Extended Task Manager look good…but I don’t want to have to start with “compatibility mode” so Process Hacker looks like my choice for myself.
System requirements:
- Windows XP (SP2)/Vista/7/8, 32-bit or 64-bit.
- Intel Itanium platforms are not supported.
You can find more on each app by clicking on the links in the articles. Here’s the one for Process Hacker: http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/
As always:
1. If you don’t need it, leave it.
2. Check out pro reviews before deciding.
3. Create a restore point before downloading and installing. Check the download URL by mousing over it.
4. Choose the “Advanced User” option not the “Typical” to prevent installing toolbars, etc.
