Often times we mess around with programs that can't be closed because our computers hang or other indicators that trigger a program can't be closed. Actually, there are various ways that we can do to overcome this, one of which is to forcefully stop the program.
To do this, I will share three ways that may be familiar to your ears. Follow the steps below to forcibly kill stubborn programs (don't want to close).
How to Turn off the "Program Not Responding"
A. Through the Task Manager
The first way that is often used by many Windows users is through the task manager.
1. To open the task manager, you can use the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keys on your keyboard. Another way to open this application, is to simply right click on the taskbar and select Task Manager.
2. Please find the program or application that you want to force shutdown. Then right click the application and select End task.
B. Via Powershell Windows
Windows powershell is a command line interface or CLI that is used for programming commands. Another function of this application is to stop applications that are running forcibly.
1. First open Run by pressing Windows key + R, then type powershell, then Enter.

2. To find out what programs are running (running), please type get-process as shown in the following image.
3. Type kill -processname [program-name], then press Enter. For example, here I want to kill the Opera program, so the command is as follows: kill -processname opera, then press Enter.
4. Another command that can be used is stop-process [program-name], then press Enter.
C. Via the command prompt
The command prompt is a windows program that is used as a DOS command interpreter. You can use this command prompt to force-stop a running program in the following way:
1. First open Run by pressing Windows key + R, then type cmd to open the command prompt application, then Enter.
2. In the cmd window, type tasklist to see what programs are running on your computer.
3. Use the command taskkill/im [program-name]. For example, we try to turn off the sticky notes program, so the command we use is taskkill/im stikynot.exe as shown in the image below. A reply that says Success indicates that the program was successfully shut down.
4. Another command you can use is taskkill/pid 5496, which is to kill the program according to its PID. For example, the PID of sticky notes is 5496.

These are the three ways to force shutdown programs. Hopefully the methods I have shared above solve your problems, especially regarding a program that is very stubborn and doesn't want to be closed.
