Tip for Linus

[SOUS]

In your video about a gaming rig from each year you sayd there is no easy way to close a game if its froxen, i usually just use the manage desktop button to make a new desktop and drag task manager to it or just open it there and it will work, keyboard shortcut can also work.

Just plug out the power cord from your PSU. Simple.

i open cmd, type in tasklist, i find the task by alt tabbing to the cmd and the frozen game is covering the cmd but i can still scroll on the cmd screen and then hold alt tab repeatedly to see what is displayed on the cmd screen and when i find the application name i type taskkill /f /im taskname.exe

There was no multiple desktops until Windows 10, which was 2015.

You can also use the taskill command via a shortcut and stick one on every desktop you have for quick access.

This has worked to kill everything, even totally unresponsive games/apps.
