What to do when a program stops responding

Its common in our daily life that computer suddenly stops responding while executing a program or file.During this time we have only one way to recover i.e.RESTART but sometimes restart can be bad for pc so here goes some of the basic ways to recover while your pc doesn't respond.
To recover, press the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys on your keyboard to open the "Close Program" or "Task Manager" window. Once open, highlight the program that is not responding and click the "End Task" button to terminate the program. If another window opens, click the "End Task" button again to confirm stopping that program.
Note: It is important to realize that when a program stops responding, any work that has not been saved will be lost when end tasking a program.
After the program has been end tasked and no longer shows up in the Task Manager, you can try opening the program again to see if it works properly. If you continue to experience issues with that program, restart your computer and then open the program again to see if the issue is now resolved.
If after restarting your computer, the program continues to stop responding, the best option is to uninstall that program, restart the computer, then re-install the program. Re-installing a program can help fix any corrupted or missing files.
