    That’s proper mental, I don’t know why you’d keep that running unnecessarily (unless fiddling with something you can easily replicate).

    Im pretty sure it’s still not going to catch the stuck things that aren’t actually killable

      It wasn’t something I kept running, just a shortcut that would run the batch file and kill anything that wasn’t responding at the time. I’m not sure if this uses the same command I had set up at the time, but I remember it having a 100% success rate. I had it for one game in particular which would crash and stop responding but any attempts to get to the task manager (even with keyboard) would fail.

      I haven’t had to use anything like this since Windows 10 as now you can just press Windows+Tab and move the task to a different desktop and then get into the task manager on your original desktop.
