Ending a Process in Windows 10?

When using the task manager in Win10, there's only an option to "end task" rather than "end process" or "end process tree"

End task seems to be the equivalent of just clicking the X in the corner of a task, which doesn't work too well when the process isn't responding and needs to be killed.

 

Is there any way of just ending a process like you could in windows 7?

They're not the same, end process was under the process tab, but that did clear things up. Thanks!

Why did they have to change what already worked?
