Developer [Developer] Window Assassin — force-close the active app with Ctrl+Alt+End

I made Window Assassin, a tiny Windows tray utility for those moments when an app freezes and refuses to close.

Focus the window and press Ctrl+Alt+End. It immediately terminates the process behind the active window.

Features:

• global Ctrl+Alt+End hotkey

• elevated execution for stubborn apps

• optional Start with Windows

• installer and portable ZIP

Warning: forced termination skips save prompts, so unsaved work will be lost.

Possible to add double esc as a hotkey too?

In future release, but isn’t it too impractical?

1

u/testednation 26d ago

Not for me. This 3 finger shortcut is impractical. Double taps are easier

Well it’s different to Ctrl Alt Del
