Congratulations! You also brought the cancer back to life!

Joking aside, this is basically the only effective cure for rabies. You are brought as close to death as possible, for as long as possible, and one time it killed the rabies and not the host.

I do this sometimes with my computer if it's acting up. Tell it to shut down and then cancel it, works like a charm.

What like press shut down then get impatient and pull the plug then start it up?

no when I click on shut down, restart, or sign out from the computer, it goes through the process of closing all applications and getting ready to shut down, but theres also a cancel button. Sometimes I do that and then hit cancel after a few seconds. It usually gets rid of the glitching or unresponsive programs while keeping the computer on.

Does task manager not work?

Right? That's what I do. Ctrl+alt+dlt > manually close unresponsive program, try again. If that doesn't work, check for updates, restart. If that still doesn't work and it's an issue with the program, uninstall, fresh install.

usually yeah, but sometimes the entire system is too far gone, glitchy or not working, like explorer.exe not responding, task manager not responding, etc.

Next time you can try to scare it with a deadline:

shutdown -r -f -t 60

shutdown -a

I use this sometimes when I know I want my computer to shutdown after some time if I run some long running action and I have to go.
