Windows 10/11 tip in case of game crashing

[HartFalleon]

I'd say Ghost of Tsushima is a pretty good PC release but in case you are having problems during trying to play it here is one tip in case you do encounter some sort of crash or problem with the game. When an application or game crashes it can just close-to-desktop with no error or worse it might hang-up your whole PC. If it does the latter and you can't access other windows, making one change to the behavior of task manager before you play games can help you still have access to that window. Allowing you to close the game/application and not have to force a reboot of your system.

Navigate your mouse cursor to the Windows icon located in your taskbar, right-click on it, select task manager, find the settings cog wheel in the bottom left, under general-window management, check the box that says "Always on top." This will make it so the task manager window always has priority or stays on top of any other window that you have open.

And that's all, obviously I can't solve why your game crashed but by doing this, you can always have access to task manager so that you can close the application and try again.

Good luck, try to be nice to others and hey, have fun.

Can't tell you how long I've had to reset my pc, because of a game soft locking it, appreciate it.

Glad that you found this useful.

FYI you don't have to put your cursor on the windows icon. Just simply doing it on any empty space on your taskbar and right clicking will give you the option for task manager.

True, true, there are always multiple ways to do or explain things. Follow instructions that are easiest for you.
