Windows 10 Taskbar could get a force quit option soon

This is exactly what macOS does, and has for years. It’s a good solution imo.

Normally, when you right-click on a program in the taskbar you are usually presented with 3 options:

• The application’s icon, which will maximize the window when pressed
• The Pin to Taskbar option
• The Close window option

Normally, when a user chooses the Close window feature, most applications should shut down entirely. However, there are some that cannot be closed, unless specifically ordered to, such as Skype.

This button users are asking about would combine Close window feature with opening the Task Manager and completely closing the process from there.

Some have even gone as far as suggesting how this feature should be accessed:

It should. You should hit X, or Alt f4 or close about 4 times when it’s not responding and it will go white and then it’ll pop up to tell you.

Whichever the case, only time will tell if Microsoft will implement this apparently useful feature.

Do you think that such a new feature could be useful? Let us know what your opinions are in the comment section below.
