Question:

Constant Ending Processes via Task Manager Is Good Or Bad?

Since my computer executes application and closes them in turtle speed, i have now adopted a habit to directly end the process through task manager, and immediately free all paged files. Is this bad in the long run to my computer?

  1. It has no effect on the computer.  It may leave files open, and it's bad that you have to do it (the program should close properly by itself), but the only problem it may cause is that if the program has allocated memory, that memory won't be freed when you effectively crash the program.  (You'll get it back the next time you reboot.)

    As a software developer, I kill processes all the time.  (No other way to close a program that won't close, except to reboot.)
