Windows 10 may have a new way to terminate the application process without opening the task manager. The idea is a simplified version of the task manager that will allow users to kill applications or programs that take up too much memory.
Windows 10 currently allows users to right-click the taskbar icon and select the “Close Window” option displayed at the bottom of the menu to close the application, but this does not completely kill the application process.
If the user wants to terminate the application and its background processes, the user still needs to open the task manager of Windows 10 or the resource widget of the Xbox game bar, and must find the process and terminate it.
Microsoft’s PowerToys team is now considering a new feature called “Quick Termination” of applications that will allow users to use the “Terminate” window or keyboard shortcuts to end the application’s process .
In other words, the user will soon get a special menu or use the keyboard shortcut to select the “terminate” option to kill the program. If this function is implemented, the process will be killed immediately without additional user interaction.
In terms of core functionality, it will be similar to a task manager or open source tool, but it will be easy to access. In addition, users do not have to browse a long list of running processes to kill an application.
According to the roadmap, Windows 10’s upcoming quick termination application will be included in an update to be released sometime next year.
Naijatechnews understands that due to limited resources, Microsoft is currently focusing on bug fixes and performance improvements for PowerToys. Advanced features such as fast termination of applications and macOS-like cursor finder will be released next year.
It is also worth mentioning that Microsoft is said to be developing another feature called “Application Manager”, which will give details of the processes running on the PC and allow users to forcibly close an application.
