How can I force stop a program without using the mouse in Windows 10?
You can use the command prompt to terminate processes:
- Open the Run box using Windows+R.
- Type
cmd
in the Run box and click Enter. - Use the command
tasklist
to list all processes. - Use the command
taskkill /F /IM "executable name.exe" /T
to terminate the process.
Try the following:
- Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc
- Navigate using the arrow keys (↓ and ↑) to highlight the problematic process
- Press the Delete key to kill the process
- If necessary, acknowledge the subsequent prompt by selecting the appropriate choice with the arrow keys (← or →) and press Enter
