prevent terminate application?

Is it possible to prevent terminate the application (and how). I am aware of
preventing the closing application, but here I mean on more violent cases
when user tries to kill (terminate) the application process in the Windows
Task Manager.

Thanks,

No, there's nothing you can do. If you're writing some sort of kiosk
application then your best bet is to use OS policies to prevent the user
from being able to access "dangerous" programs like Task Manager in the
first place.

The following code (concept came from MSDN) works except for when the user attempts to terminate via "Task List" which causes "Program not responding"...press "Cancel" and no issues, press "End now" and sure enough it ends. My question is; is there any method to prevent the "Application not responding" message from appearing? Current code:

Hi all, my problem is that the application doesn't terminate when I close the form using the close box on the caption bar. Actually it seems as if the program is closed but task manager's process list shows that it is not. There is one thread that I manully create and start in forms load event. But I set the IsBackground property of the thread to true. So, it should terminate while exiting the application. There are other threads that...

Dear Members I have a critical program written in c#. It runs every time the user log on. But sometimes log-oned user forces my application process to quit by “End Process” in task manager. How can I be notified whenever the process is killed by task manager? I want to keep my process always alive. At least after it is killed, I want it to be restarted automatically. Is there any way?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
