Windows 11 gets an option to stop a process directly from the taskbar. That is a break with previous versions of Windows, where this was only possible via Task Manager. For now, the function is not working yet.
Twitter users saws passing by the new feature in Build 25300 and higher, although it does not work there yet. In those versions of Windows, users will see the new feature when they right-click an open task in the taskbar. In that menu it was previously possible to close a window, but not to actually end a process. That is possible in the future.
Previously, users had to close a task through the Task Manager. That intermediate step has long been the only way to really close a process. The new feature is not yet available to everyone. Users of the ViVe tool can do that with the command vivetool /enable /id:42592269 can be called up manually, although the functionality is still missing.
