title: What to do when Process won't End
body: <p>I'm an amateur programmer and often run into this problem. I use visual studio and sometimes if I don't clear my input buffer input gets thrown into the next awaiting <code>cin</code> and throws my program into an endless loop. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is - I can't close the command prompt. I can't run my program again until the command prompt is close (I can't open another command prompt). I've tried to ctrl+alt+del and end the process there - it does nothing. I'm unsure what else to do except restart my computer... When I do this it closes automatically (and quickly), but then I can't cancel my restart I just kind of have to go through it. </p>
  
  <p>What else can I do to end a process that will not end?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong> Not sure why this was migrated here, i feel this is a windows problem looking for a windows solution. I thought superusers was for that.</p>
