App-Switch: Close Programs You Don’t Want

App-Switch lets you easily close apps that are running on your PC. It searches for the app you want to close and shuts it down. If the app tries to start up again, App-Switch will keep making sure it stays closed—unless you turn it off. (Works on Windows with Python 3.11.9)

How to Use (No Python Needed)

If you don’t have Python or aren’t sure what it is, no problem! Just follow these 3 easy steps:

1️⃣ Step 1: Download

• Go to the Releases section and download the .zip file. 📥

2️⃣ Step 2: Extract

• Go to your Downloads folder. Right-click the .zip file and choose Extract All. Pres Enter and wait for it to unzip. 📂

3️⃣ Step 3: Run the Program

• Open the folder you just extracted. 📂

• Scroll to the bottom and double-click app_switch to run it. ⚙️

(If there’s another folder with the same name inside, open that first to find app_switch.)

⚠️ Note: You might see a warning since the app will close other programs.
