Automatically Ending Non-Responsive Tasks

Hello Friends,

We can automatically terminate the program that is not responding in Windows.
It takes a predefined time before it kills non-responsive applications.

So to speedup ending process of non-responsive application, you need to edit some of registry values.
This value will lower down the hang time and thus speed up the ending process of non-responsive program.

Steps-

(1)   Navigate to Start Menu then RUN command window.

(2)   Type there regedit and press Enter.

(3)   Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER >> Control Panel >> Desktop

(4)   On right hand side , change the registry "WaitToKillApp" Timeout to 1000.
       
{Note- WaitToKillApp sets the time for Windows to wait before killing the application you are trying to close. And please do not assign very low value there.}

That’s all.
