Found a way to quickly kill all apps

[wins]

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


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)

pskill -t wwahost.exe

@echo off
taskkill /f /IM wwahost.exe

Have fun !

Thanks for the tip!

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.

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

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
