Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the “kill process tree” button to fall back on.

Day! Me say day- me say day- me say day

You’re the only other one than OP piping up.

Don’t forget all the people that were already too tired from this conversation before even participating in it to pipe up and decided to just click on the down arrow instead. Here I am piping up, though. You should change your ways if you genuinely want to “have a discussion”. You’re very right that you don’t have to do that for anybody here, though! We don’t give a fuck if you ever do find that discussion you’re after. But if that is something you might like in the future you might want to examine the way you go about that. But I get it, it’s hard not to stay defensive once you’ve dug yourself in already.
