Programs

What should Windows do when programs freeze, or when they cannot be closed? Under Idle time without feedback, you can specify how long the system will wait for a program to respond in milliseconds. Once this time has passed without a reaction, they will be forced to close by the Task Manager or when the computer is shutting down.

Under Close programs automatically, you can either choose to Close programs automatically or to have the End Program dialog shown.
