After offering you a chance to save any changes you’ve made to your
document, the program’s windows, menus, and toolbars disappear, and you

When Programs Die: The Task Manager
Windows 10 may be pretty stable, but that doesn’t mean that programs
never crash or freeze. They crash, all right.
When something goes wrong with a program, your primary interest is
usually in exiting it. But when a program locks up (the cursor moves, but
menus and tool palettes don’t respond) or when a dialog box tells you a
program has “failed to respond,” exiting may not be so easy. After all, how
do you choose File → Exit if the File menu doesn’t open?
The solution is to open up the Task Manager dialog box (Figure 6-5).
