The fact that it will not let you end it is nothing more than an attempt to further limit the user-level control over the system, and has gotten to the point of insanity. The system ought to have the final say over a thread, period. Isn't that what they wanted in Vista by retaining more kernel control? Having to hard shutdown your computer on numerous occasions, even if due to a faulty driver, is not acceptable.

And even if it IS a faulty kernel-level driver (which it could be in some cases), the OS ought to be able to kill the offending process.

Many programs without drivers at all are experiencing this. W7 doesn't bother to give you any control over hung processes at all. So you probably have a badly behaving driver on your system that exhibits the problems you describe, this is not surprising giving the beta state of some of the drivers (display, network) running on W7. During that time, the driver holds that thread (and therefore the process that the thread belongs to) hostage. If the driver is not well-behaved (or if the hardware that the driver is managing is acting up), it may take forever for it to clean up the incomplete I/O.


If the driver is well-behaved, it cleans up the bookkeeping for the incomplete I/O, cleans up the thread state and releases the thread. But the kernel-mode part can't go away until all drivers are finished with the thread(s) that belong to that process.įor example, if a thread is executing an I/O operation, the kernel signals to the driver responsible for the I/O that the operation should be canceled. When you kill a process, the user-mode part of the process is thrown away.

This has nothing to do with W7, this is true for all Windows NT based OS versions. I am now pressing/holding the power button to shut down. If this is the wrong sub forum to place this in, please tell me and I will repost in another.Īny reply on this would be useful, this problem is about as bad as it can possibly get for an operating system. explorer.exe has now been stalled and hung for 48 minutes without doing ANYTHING. I recognize that it could be a driver malfunctioning or something, but the operating system NEEDS to allow you to kill unresponsive processes. I am at a loss, and will have to stop using the OS altogether. This problem occured in vista as well, but it seems substantially worse in windows 7. At the time of this posting, explorer.exe has two instances open in task manager, neither of which I am able to kill with end task, or right click and end process or process tree (although the child programs they spawned that WERE responding when end process was pressed will close). I should also note that taskkill /f does NOTHING but reports "success" when you attempt to kill a a program. Additionally, when this happens, you are forced to turn off your computer by holding down the power button, because it will never complete the shutdown sequence.

Is anyone else having the issue where sometimes when a program will hang (either a 3rd party like mozilla firefox/thunderbird or explorer.exe) clicking end task does nothing at all? It is very VERY frustrating.
