Somebody needs to find whoever was responsible for the original NT task manager and learn a thing or two. That thing was bulletproof. I had servers over the years that were so broken nothing else would run but you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and tada!

wait a little bit, electron is still loading...
Start > Run > taskkill /F /IM:taskmgr.exe
There is a developer setting that enables "kill task" in the task bar right-click menu. I recommend enabling it. I believe this is new since I just found out about it. It may only be in Windows Insider Dev Channel and/or Windows 11 Enterprise version, I'm not sure.

Do you have any examples or recommendations of said third party tools you prefer?
