Off the top of my head: right click the task and hit end process. That has literally never failed me. Back in windows XP it might sometimes not actually kill the process but then there was always the "kill process tree" button to fall back on.

Yep, typically "Kill Process Tree" was like the nuke from orbit. You'll likely destroy any unsaved data, but it works nice when steam has 12 processes running at once.

It's not really a nuke as some processes might be protected. The nuke is to use debugger privileges. Far Manager can kill processes using debugger privileges, that will literally nuke anything and in an instant: the app won't even receive any signals or anything.
