In this video we explain how to quit / exit an application on you Windows laptop or Desktop, in case it does not respond anymore for some unknown reason. This step-by-step instructions are really easy to follow.
We are using the Windows TaskManager in order to first find the application in question. Start the TaskManager by right-clicking on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Then we select the application. Next we press the "End Task" Botton on the bottom right of the windows.
