Whenever I try to shut down my pc, I get the "Program is not responding, click end now to end it now" box etc. Thats' fine, but the thing that's not responding is "app.bl87yEIQuTvEqlk4yz4YZQ.6". What the fuck is that?

    It's either a rogue process (which I doubt cause there is literally shit all about it on the web); or it's a Windows application. Many Windows application - especially those which do not create any windows - create "invisible" windows for the purpose of dispatching events. Since these "windows" are never visible, they are often created with systematically generated names (like app.bl87yEIQuTvEqlk4yz4YZQ.6).

    The end task box uses the window title as the name of the application, and if application get stuck (maybe waiting on I/O or something), things like what you saw happen
