Microsoft will soon add a new way to end unresponsive processes in Windows 11 in the form of a new option that will show up when right-clicking an app's taskbar icon.

The new functionality is currently in development as a hidden feature of Windows 11 build 25300 in the Windows Insider developer channel.

Once toggled on, a new "End task" option will be displayed in the Jump List shown when right-clicking apps' icons in the Windows 11 taskbar.

As BleepingComputer previously reported, Microsoft is also working on adding native Windows 11 RGB lighting controls with support for computer peripherals, such as mice and gaming keyboards, in new Windows 11 test builds.

The new RBG lighting controls spotted by Albacore are currently in development as a hidden feature of Windows 11 build 25295 in the Windows Insider developer channel.

Recently, Redmond revealed that it started testing support for multiple Notepad tabs and finally added a built-in screen recorder to the Windows 11 Snipping Tool.
