- Choose QuitQuit asks the program to close, so it can save first. Press Delete or click End Task to do the same.

Some programs can't be ended here: the parts of the system the computer needs, and AMWT Desktop itself. They show a lock in the details panel. A program that belongs to another user, or runs with administrator rights, may also refuse.
The Performance tab shows each processor core, the load average (on a Mac and Linux) and temperatures where your computer reports them. The Volumes tab shows the space used on each drive.
