Aborting a batch file, command or other program stuck in a loop.
Question:
Aborting a batch file, command or other program stuck in a loop.
Answer:
While working on your computer you may encounter a situation
where a program or batch file you're working on becomes stuck in a
loop and/or a command or program you run on your computer becomes
stuck in a loop.
There are several different methods from aborting these loops as
listed below.
CTRL + C
One of the most universal methods of aborting a batch
file, command or other program while it's running is by pressing and
holding CTRL + C.
CTRL + Pause/Break
Similar to CTRL + C pressing CTRL + the
Pause/Break key will abort
almost all batch files, commands, scripts, or other programs.
Close Window
If after trying the above two suggestions you're
still unable to abort and the program is running in a window mode,
click the X to close out of the Window.
ALT + CTRL + DEL
Finally, if you're still unable to abort the batch
file, command, script, or other program press
ALT + CTRL +
DEL keys at the same time to
open the task manager and highlight the program you wish to end and
click the End Process button.
