Windows Kill Tasks

Windows Kill Tasks is a small-sized and portable application that can rapidly end all running processes on your computer. This way, you can quickly exit all tools and shut down your workstation when you're in a hurry or if you're trying to hide sensitive information from other people.

The entire program's packed in a single executable file that can be saved anywhere on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit, in order to directly launch it on any machine with as little effort as possible.

It doesn't add new entries to your system registry, need DLLs or other components to work, or create files on the HDD without your permission.

Although the program hasn't received updates for a pretty long time, it worked flawlessly on newer Windows versions in our tests, so you should be careful when trying to test Windows Kill Tasks for yourself.

Once you double-click the .exe file, the application shows a message that asks for confirmation to proceed. It warns you that you're about to lose any unsaved information. Apart from terminating all currently working processes, it logs out of Windows.

By using another utility that specializes in this task, it's possible to create a global keyboard shortcut for rapidly killing all active tasks and logging off the operating system.

As previously mentioned, we haven't come across any compatibility issues with newer Windows models in our tests, although Windows Kill Tasks hasn't been updated for a while. As expected from such a compact tool, it didn't put a strain on the machine's performance, since it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly.

Although it doesn't have broader features, Windows Kill Tasks offers a simple solution for swiftly terminating all currently running processes and log off Windows. It can be easily handled by anyone.
