Yes yes, I REALLY want to terminate that process and I am very sure about it too, ty.

    Ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3 etc.
    It lets you switch to another terminal session, where you can use something like top/htop for a commandline equivalent to task manager.

      That’s what I don’t get about what they said above. If the Windows desktop freezes up, Task Manager won’t open either (happened to me quite some times over the years - less so since they moved to the NT kernel though). What you mentioned always works short of kernel panic.

        I’d say it’s been over a decade since I’ve had an issue where windows task manager didn’t work. Maybe I’m not using exciting enough programs.

          It definitely creeps up every once in a while on my Windows computer. It’s really not a common occurrence and only happens when I’m doing something that’s not recommended.
