Hi chaosphoenix!!
Ok, so you want a way to kill the process that hang? you can try using the kill command from command line. open up your command prompt, run it as a administrator. try type in like the one below:
taskkill /im taskmgr.exe
where the
taskmgr.exe is the name of processes you want to end. and yes, you can type in
tasklist to see the list of processes that running on your computer as well
hope this helps
