Skewered Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 In Windows 7 I was still able to use Task Manager and close out Skyrim if it crashed. In Windows 10 I can run Task Manager, and see it in the taskbar, but the Task Manager window seems to be hidden behind the crashed Skyrim window. Sometimes there is the FootIK error message, and if I close that then Skyrim closes with it. Otherwise, I seem to be stuck having to log out to close Skyrim. Any advice?
Vacaliga Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Right click Skyrim on the task bar and close all windows, you may have to ctrl+alt+delete to the get the mouse cursor free. Works for me.
Guest MonsterFish Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 If you have to, cntrl-alt-delete and log out/switch user but then cancel before it gets the chance. This should exit a load of programs and likely Steam, but it's the only way I have managed to find that works.
Teddar Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 if your issue was the same as mine and it sounds like it is, open the task manager and select "always on top" in options
jfraser Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I didn't know the "always on top" existed, thanks. I bring up the task manager then, because the mouse stays in the taskbar, i move skyrim to a different desktop and then close it via the taskmanager from there.

Skewered Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 if your issue was the same as mine and it sounds like it is, open the task manager and select "always on top" in options That did it, thanks! I was even able to crash Skyrim to test it.
Akzyra Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Very usefull CMD command: TASKKILL /F /IM TESV.exe Works with the EXE name. Because it kills every process and not just one, very usefull if ENBhost acts up and spams 500 windows. If you are very prone to crashing you can create a BAT file, do a Shortcut and make it execute with a Key Combo. But the Key Combo might not work while in Fullscreen. Just ALT-TAB and then it will work. I did that for quitting very fast when I debugging Fallout4 crashes. And you can put multiple games/apps into the BAT. One Killswitch for Skyrim, Fallout, ...
TheJediNinja Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 if your issue was the same as mine and it sounds like it is, open the task manager and select "always on top" in options Why is this not on by default?
