To improve performance on Windows 11, you can safely end processes like unused apps, bloatware (e.g., Copilot, Phone Link), high-resource processes, and peripheral-related programs via Task Manager.

Sometimes, an app on Windows can just stop responding out of nowhere. That's annoying on its own, but it's even worse if you're not sure how to force it to close. Luckily, that’s easy enough to do.
