Why do Windows programs stop responding


Issue

Why do Windows programs stop responding?

Additional information

A computer, operating system, software program or driver may stop responding or cause other programs to stop responding because of several possible reasons, such as a confliction of software or hardware resources between two programs, lack of system resources, or a bug in the software or drivers.

Solution

To recover from a program that has stopped responding, a user can press the CTRL + ALT + DEL keys on his or her keyboards to open the "Close Program" window or open the "Task Manager" window and click the "End Task" button to terminate the program. If another window opens, click the "End Task" button again to confirm stopping that program.
It is important to realize that when a program stops responding any work that has not been saved will more than likely be lost when end tasking a program. Unfortunately, there is no alternative.
If you continue to experience programs locking the computer or stop responding we recommend you review our General Troubleshooting page for recommendations on steps that can be performed to help stop this issue from occurring.

Easily Fix spots and other problems in photos

Easily fix spots and other problems in photos Expensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop have a feature known as Content-Aware, which allows them to fix spots and other problems in a photo with little work. The free online service Webinpaint has the same capability and allows you to easily remove spots, blemishes, scratches, objects, and any other problems you may have in a picture. For example, in the below picture I start off with an image with four big air balloons and one small air balloon in the middle. I think the image would look better without this small balloon, so I draw over the balloon and then click the Inpaint button to remove the small balloon from the picture. Once the changes have been made I can save the new photo and be done with a fairly difficult photo edit in a less than a few minutes.
