Kill this file wwahost.exe and all apps will close and return to desktop :dinesh:


create a .bat file pasting either of two codes below in Notepad and saving as .bat. Create a desktop shortcut and give a keyboard shortcut (for example I have given F2 so I can kill them all with one click)

Code: 
pskill -t wwahost.exe


Code: 
@echo off
taskkill /f /IM wwahost.exe


Have fun ! :)

Thanks for the tip! :thumbsup:

This might be usefull for people with little RAM memory in their system, I guess. For me though I haven't yet wanted to kill open apps. It doesn't annoy me or slow my system down.

    I also own the following Microsoft devices:

Does that do a "clean" close of the apps, or does it abort them (not close open files before existing, etc)?

Some get suspended and some exit completely

For example Chrome and PC settings remain suspended but Photos app closed

Tried to configure in Task Manager to close the Start Menu after logon but for some reason it does not
