NTWind’s Close All Windows application allows you to close numerous running programs at once swiftly. If you have a lot of windows on your screen at the end of the day and are too lazy to dismiss them all, this is an excellent tool. Instead of clicking repeatedly, open the main list and select the desired applications.
The app displays active windows after it has launched. By default, you can select the entire list; closing everything is optional. Uncheck the programs that you want to keep running. This is more handy than merely forcing processes to close because the utility sends the usual close instruction to apps.
If an unsaved document remains in an editor or other program, the utility may display the standard save prompt. Don’t think of Close All Windows as a tool for eliminating processes. It’s straightforward; its goal is to neatly and swiftly close selected windows with Windows capabilities.
