Windows 11 gets killer feature
What is common in macOS will soon also be available in Windows 11: a quickly accessible option to force quit programmes.
If your software hangs and clicking on the X in the window does nothing, you can force it to close. You can do this using the Task Manager. Microsoft announced at the "Build" developer conference that it will soon be integrating another option into Windows 11.
In the preview, Microsoft calls the option "Force quit" and can be accessed via the taskbar. By right-clicking on the relevant programme, it will appear in the pop-up context menu next to the existing "Pin to taskbar" and "Close window" options.
The new killer feature is not entirely unknown, as it was already spotted in test versions of Windows in February. Microsoft says that the new option will be rolled out soon.
