Thursday, September 20, 2012 7:32 PMWondering about MS apps and how they might behave in the OS. Are there times when say Outlook would hang waiting on something before responding back to the Windows OS? Seems like by now Windows would have a menu or other setting to stop a not responding app.

Come hear Mark Russinovich, the master of Windows troubleshooting, walk you through step by step how he has solved seemingly unsolvable system and application problems on Windows. (See: The Case of the Mysterious Hung App @ 40:00 mark)
