How to automatically or manually turn off an unresponsive program in Windows7

How to automatically close an unresponsive program
Automatic shutdown of the unresponsive program is automatically completed by the system, because Vista/windows 7 in the program execution efficiency, many of the unresponsive program is actually not dead, but because the operating system caused by the "pause" state, especially many computer veteran, mouse operation too fast, Program running and switching has completely exceeded the operating system response speed, so it is easy to cause temporary suspended animation state.

For example, when the system is busy running some programs, optical drive due to the CD quality problems frequently read and write, and so on, generally only need to wait patiently, the program will restore the state, and before the recovery, the system is always reporting the unresponsive program (because the thread or process timeout). So be careful to close the unresponsive program automatically.

1, on the Windows XP system, if you want to set the automatic shutdown unresponsive program, refer to the following methods:

Enter regedit and return at the start of the run
Navigate to Hkey_current_usercontrol Paneldesktop
Set the Autoendtasks key value to 1, and if not, you can manually create a table item named Autoendtasks with a REG_SZ value of 1.
2. On Vista and Windows 7, refer to the following methods:

Enter regedit and return at the start of the run
Navigate to Hkey_current_usercontrol Paneldesktop
Set the Autoendtasks key value to 1, and if not, you can manually create a table item named Autoendtasks with a REG_SZ value of 1.
Waittokillapptimeout is the timeout wait time, the default value of 12000, this value on many sites suggested that the change is shorter, this is not recommended, it is best not to change. Because the operation of the program is comprehensive, the impact time will be many times, too short timeout time may bring some "inexplicable" problem.
If you confirm the modification of waittokillapptimeout, please change it uniformly:

Hkey_current_usercontrol Paneldesktop

Hkey_local_machinesystemcontrolset001control

Hkey_local_machinesystemcontrolset002control

Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrol

Waittokillapptimeout, such as 1000,2000, are OK.

Ii. manual shutdown of the unresponsive program
1. Manual shutdown in Task Manager

In a blank space on the taskbar, click the right mouse button and select Start Task Manager (or start the input task and press ENTER). How do I determine the process name? You can refer to the unresponsive program name in the Application tab in Task Manager, locate the program, and then right-click to go to the process, and WIN7 will automatically help you jump to the program's corresponding process project.

Select the process name of the unresponsive program, and then click the end Process and confirm (as shown below). However, before closing the process, the following two items need to be noted:

Confirm that the responder does not involve important data you need to save, such as documents, clipboard, and so on, and try to save the data as much as possible before you finish.
The end process does not rule out the cause of the panic, automatic restart, so other processes if you are running important data also need to maintain, after the clearance to try to end the process, placing the expansion impact.

However, the end of the process is often not very effective, and then try the right mouse button on the process to select the "End Process tree", if not yet can try the following command-line method.

Second, the command line ended the unresponsive program
1. Open the cmd command line with administrator privileges to create command line shortcuts with administrator privileges

2, in the Command line window input:

taskkill/f/fi "STATUS eq. Not responding

and return confirmation to end the unresponsive program.

But even so, some hardware-related programs may be difficult to shut down, such as optical drives, printers, and so on, because the operating system may be interacting with the hardware data, encountered such cases, or to wait for a while, or forced eject the optical drive or power off the printer, or forced shutdown restart.
