CLOSE WINDOW DOESN’T WORK!!!
That stupid thing has liters given me trust issues. You have no idea how many times I’ve pressed close window on an app or game and it didn’t close.

I don’t think there was ever much intent to mislead people into thinking “close window” stops the program. Most apps have continued running in the background for over a decade now

Closing windows and ending tasks are two very different things.

I hate how to many programs stay running quietly in the background when you hit close window. End task solves that 🙂

Or just task manager
