One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen
So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!
ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input
Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive
I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened
New Vegas does the same thing, hiding Task Manager behind itself when it crashes. I found a workaround by using Ctrl+Alt+Del, clicking to make the cursor appear, and then pressing the Windows key which makes the taskbar appear. Then the game window can be closed from the taskbar.
