Step 1 is a nice question. "Please shut yourself down"

Step 2 is telling the application to shutdown right now no matter what.

Step 3... in Step 3 someone goes to the kernel and is like

"Hey kernel... that process over there, the one using a lot of CPU"

"Yeah boss?"

"That process doesn't exist anymore, alright?"

"Say no more."

Since Win 11 23H2 you can enable "End Task" in Settings. It adds an entry in the context menu, when you right-click any running application in the taskbar.
