Solution

The command you would use to force close a non-responsive application on Windows via Command Line Interface (CLI) is taskkill.

Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Command Prompt: You can do this by searching for cmd in the Start menu or by pressing Win + R to open the Run dialog box, then typing cmd and hitting Enter.

  2. Use the tasklist command to see a list of all running tasks. This will display a list of all the applications and services currently running on your computer.

  3. Identify the non-responsive application: Look through the list to find the application that is not responding. You will need to know the exact name of the application as it appears in the task list.

  4. Use the taskkill command to terminate the application: The syntax for this command is taskkill /IM "application name" /F. Replace "application name" with the exact name of the application you want to close. The /F flag is used to force the application to close.

For example, if the non-responsive application is named "example.exe", you would type taskkill /IM example.exe /F and press Enter.

Please note that you need to have administrative privileges to execute the taskkill command.
