You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Oh, he's not dead, not... not yet.
And when it tries to hide, Process Explorer will hunt it down.
We'll have to destroy them ship to ship. Get the crews to their fighters.
When the program starts working after going: "ps -elf"
When a program starts responding after you start typing "sudo kill -9 ..."
FTFY
Charming to the last. You don't know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your life!
Is there a legitimate thing happening to cause that? Because I always tell people to pin task manager on the task bar so they can easily threaten a program.
I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion.
CTRL+ALT+DEL sends a system interrupt.
"Stop what you're doing and pay fucking attention!"
That's often enough to break whatever was jamming things up.
NOTE: Other methods of opening Task Manager do not sent a system interrupt.
And some viruses hide/reduce resource drain when it's open.
I’ve heard it interrupts… computer things basically acting as time for process to… re…. Think?
Hopefully someone will explain it better than I can
Edit: looks like someone already did it for my dumbass lol
Thought that's only if you c+a+d. If you ctrl+esc or bring up it any other way like right clicking the taskbar and hitting it in the context menu, that does not cause an interrupt.
afaik yada yada but the sauce is in cad
Just spit balling, but id prob say something along the lines of the program was hanging because it was waiting on something else like say the Windows kernel to do something. By bringing up Task Manager windows might need to do some important things for it and in the process kicks things back in gear
Though not all hangs are alike and a lot of the time there's just no recovering it, but it makes a funny meme lol
