close bf4.exe process in Task Manager or restart the computer
There's no bf4.exe in the task manager.
If it happens to be there, it tells me that I've got no permissions to close the application, even though I'm logged in as an administrator and I've launched the task manager as an administrator.
And, to be honest, "restart the computer" is not a solution.
Edit: I tried the shell version of the task manager, it does indeed find bf4.exe and here is what happens when I try to kill it:
C:\Users\xxxx>taskkill /PID 5904
ERROR: The process with PID 5904 could not be terminated.
Reason: This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option).
C:\Users\xxxx>taskkill /PID 5904 /F
ERROR: The process with PID 5904 could not be terminated.
Reason: Access is denied.
Obviously 5904 is the PID of bf4.exe.
Further edit: The reason why the process cannot be killed is because it's in a "crashing" state, therefore the system is waiting for it to finish handling its crashing state.
