Can't close game whatsoever.

[okcomputer]

Okay I'm getting rather annoyed that I haven't been able to close this game for 3 days now. I've restarted my laptop many many times and closed steam via task manager. In task manager I can see the game.exe under the 'details' tab, but it says access denied when trying to end the task. How can I close this game??

Try pressing the "Show All Programs" button or something similar near the bottom of the programs tab, that should allow full access to the task mananger allowing you to close it.

If this doesn't work, post back.

There isn't a programs tab on my task manager

Processes is the correct term, I apologize. Click "Show processes from all users" near the bottom and it should give the task manager full access to close whatever you want.
Then, just find the game under all the other processes and close it, do not close anything you do not know what it is.

There isn't a thing that says 'show processes from all users' are you sure that's on windows 8.1? I can see the game under the details tab but it keeps saying access denied.

I'm on Windows 7, but it shouldn't be much different. Look for something that says something similar to that, there should be a "Shield" beside it to show it gives full access. I'm also assuming your computer user has admin abilities on the computer?

The way W7 has it is, Task Manager > Processes > Show all processes from all users > Find the process and close it.

There isn't anything like that on mine. I ran task manager as admin but it still doesn't let me close it under the details tab. If it is under the processes tab then it's under a different name, I just don't want to close random things.

Can you right click it under the details tab and see if there is a "Go to process" button, that should highlight the process.

wow

There is a 'go to services' thing when I right click it under details. But it's not under the same name on there. Is there any way I will know which one the game is?

I don't think games go under the "Services" tab, if it is under there though, it'll highlight if you click "Go to services", if it doesn't highlight anything, it's not under that tab.

You might want to find someone with Windows 8, as I don't know the way their task manager works. It sounds like your "Details" tab is the same as my "Processes" tab as that's the only way to click "Go to services" over here.

Last suggestion I can make, is try finding the "Show all processes from all users" button under the "Details" section but worded slightly different, might be "Show all details from all users" or something similar.

There's nothing like that under the 'details' section. Thanks for your help though, appreciate it.
