stopping an AutoIt script containing while true loop


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have an Auto It script containing a while true loop

how can I stop It without rebooting the computer?

It clicks too fast for me to try to stop the process with taskmgr

and focuses on another window so If a command exists to stop it, it would be great

thank you in advance

Can you open the taskmanager with ctrl+shift+ESC and the kill the process?

No, actually the autoit program clicked very quickly on a pop up of an application and the focus was on the application,

but now I rebooted my computer, I didn't find another solution

You will see in the system tray a icon for the autoit script when you run it. Simply context click on it and click close.

In fact I couldn't access to my screen and neither to the tray icon; the program moved the mouse so I couldn't use it

For next time I'll use hotkeys

thanks
