To force close on Windows, you need to open Task Manager by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Look for the application which is unresponsive among the list of processes. Click on the application and use the End Task button. Windows will try to end the chosen application. Alt+F4 can be used while the application window is selected. However, if the application is unresponsive, Task Manager is recommended. It should also be noted that when shutting down applications forcefully, all unsaved data will be lost. Therefore, one needs to save files periodically.
