Well, I had that experience this morning, shockingly, from Windows 11’s taskbar. Now I know how TeamFourStar’s Vegeta feels.\n\nDespite the fact that the feature has been available in some form for about two years, today was the first time I’d ever seen the little “End task” option when I right-clicked an item on the taskbar. It’s a smart feature. Often a window gets hung up—for a crashed browser tab or a game that’s gone over in memory—and a simple close command won’t do.\n\nIf you’ve been using Windows for any amount of time, you know how to open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Escape is my preferred method) and hunt down a misbehaving program. Now you don’t have to. You can get to “End task” with just two clicks from pretty much anywhere in Windows. I don’t know which update changed the setting for me (hey, I can’t read _every_ PCWorld story), but I’m glad it did!\n\nMichael Crider/Foundry\n\nThe option seems to have migrated from a slightly hidden developer setting to **System > Advanced**. If you search for “end task” in the Settings menu, you can find it quickly. I’m going to be using it a lot.",
