How to force close an application in windows 8 if it is not responding?
It sometimes occurs to me that some of the running applications in Windows 8 stop responding. In windows 7 there was an option of going to task manager and right click on a program's icon and go to its process and then right click on the process and end it. But in Windows 8's task manager only the process shows and then option on the right click is end task. It doesn't end the process if the program is not responding.
Is there any way I can force-close the applications that are not responding (One solution i use is restarting the PC).

Do you mean End process tree in Details tab of windown 8
You could do this with a command like
taskkill.exe /f /fi “status eq not responding”Or, turn it into a bat file, create a short cut and execute with just a click of a button. More details
However, this should be possible via Windows 8 and I would try and find out why it isn't!
7You might want to try Process Explorer, or Process Hacker 2. They not only work very fine on NT operating systems, and let you end anything you want, they would also show many interesting things. Both applications are very safe (not a malware or virus) and they are way way better than the built-in task manager of Windows.
I highly recommend Process Hacker.
