hmm did your mods turn gta5.exe into a malware?

I managed to fix it.
I pressed "shift"on my keyboard and then clicked turn off, force my pc to completely shut down. After I restarting my pc, everything is fine.

Lg software / ghub has been a source of gtav not shutting down properly for years (usually suss'd out by clean booting windows via msconfig - enabling one at a time, closing open programs, etc etc).

I stayed on a very old version for years without issue til recently - then it started happening to me too. In my case I just turned off keyboard effects ingame, and disabled integrations for gta5 in the software (stuff I never used anyway) and now no longer have the problem. Didn't bother narrowing to 'which' exactly caused it. YMMV obviously. I will likely go back to the old version if it starts again.

Else, can go complain to R*/logitech, but that has been a fruitless endeavor for years.

If this was the fix, your previous restarts were more of a hibernation.. just putting the PC to sleep with the apps in the background suspended in memory and standing by.. hard restart like you did will force the PC to only have running the programs designated to start at startup.

I see in your log you're being very specific as to which task to kill, you might consider trying the following in the future:

Start with opening command prompt as administrator. This should prevent or eliminate most access denied's.. any access denied's as administrator likely means something running needs it.

You can use wildcards in taskkill. When I need to close GTA, I simply do a:
taskkill /f /im gta*
