Why did my computer or software stop responding?

You can try to locate and close the software application that has stopped responding.

1Press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys. The Windows Task Manager window appears.

2From the Applications tab, locate the application that has the status message, “Not responding.”

3Select the application that has a Not Responding status and click End Task. Windows attempts to close the application.

If your computer does not respond or the application does not close, try the following steps:

1Save any open files, if possible.

2Press the Alt+F4 keys. The Turn Off Computer window appears.

3Click Restart.

If your computer still does not respond and you cannot restart, shut down your computer by pressing and holding the power button for more than six seconds.

If the software application continues to stop responding or causes your computer to stop responding, contact the software publisher or designated technical support provider.

Pressing and holding the power button for more than six seconds, may result in the loss of data from files that are currently open.
