Just remember to set task manager to always on top before, I have tried this with some programs only to have task manager get stuck underneath the problem window.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the task manager, then find the programm in question and “End Task”.

I actually have had that enabled, but I get what you’re saying and it makes sense

Hmmm i knew that one but didnt think to try it because the mouse wasnt working. I just assumed that because I couldn’t switch the focused window with alt+tab, that opening another wouldn’t work either. But i also have task manager always open on one monitor so my situation could be different either way.
Regardless, I pretty quickly fixed my game through means that have nothing to do with this topic, but because I asked the question and I’m genuinely curious, I’ll load my corrupted save and see what happens in a moment (it was a quicksave that couldnt be loaded without freezing shit basically)

Next time youre in Task Manager, if you haven’t already, be sure to enable the setting labelled “always on top” or something to that effect.
Some fullscreen software can hang and refuse to transfer focus to task manager even when it is the currently focused window. Also, sometimes you can bypass this if you have a second monitor or switch your desktop to a virtual desktop by pressing WIN+TAB.
