Kill Frozen Processes Easily

I’m sure you have come across instances of a task “Not Responding” right? There’s a quick way to kill all such processes without altering the registry.

Create a shortcut anywhere on your desktop [Right-click -> New -> Shortcut]. For the shortcut path, copy and paste the following line:

taskkill.exe /f /fi "status eq not responding"

taskkill
You can add an icon to it if you would like to make it look pretty. =)

Going a step further, you can run the task using keyboard shortcuts. Something like your very own Ctrl + Alt+ Del. To do so, you can follow the steps I have mentioned in this previously dated article. I set it to Ctrl + Shift + End. Everytime I have a hung process that requires me to kill it, I just hit these keys.
