Game Freeze while exiting game. (And solution for resolving it. [PC])

[Doom Squid]

Game froze on-screen while I was exiting my game. The kind of freeze that occupies the screen, preventing you from say accessing Steam or other apps like the Task Manager to close it. Had to look up how to solve without just restarting or shutting down my PC. Solution for those suffering from the same fate:

(Close Task Manager first if you tried bringing it up, or this won't work.)

Ctrl+Win+D (Creates a secondary desktop.)
->
Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Opens Task Manager.)
->
Force Close whatever's the problem.
->
Ctrl+Win+Left Arrow (To return to your original desktop.)
->
Ctrl+Win+F4 (To close the additional desktop once you're done.)

And that should do it. Hope this helps. (With any luck this should work with other games that have had those annoying freezes.)

Fyi it is faster to just hit the windows key sign out of your account and sign back in, the game will close during sign out.

How do I close task manager if I already tried to open it?

Right-click on task manager icon, and click "close window".

Since you don't seem to understand, this post was made for when you can't do that.
