When you start an app, the operating system creates a process for an executable file. It contains the program code and its current activity.
Sometimes, an app stops responding, consumes a lot of system resources, or behaves unexpectedly and doesn't allow you to quit it; you might want to kill its process to close the app forcefully. We show how to use Task Manager for these tasks.
