If that is between 21% and 40%, then seek for a application that announces 'no longer Responding'. If that is between 40-one% and 60% seek for that no longer Responding application lower back. comparable with sixty one% to 80% and 80 one% to a hundred%. in case you spot a application that announces 'no longer Responding', click on it then click 'end application'.
