What do you do when you try and end a program you don't actually want to run and it says to you "Currently performing some background processing. This program can't close at the moment".
(OK, maybe this is rhetorical)

The proces-tree, just to be sure.

I would think about the truth in the statement. A big upload or some media coding can take a while.
If not: "Die you sh*tty crapware!!! I kill you now" 
Press F1 for help or google it.

Kill its process and all its descendants. Purge the sacred land that is my CPU with the blood of the offender.

The Photo Studio Media Browsing service that came with my printer is very bad about this.

I look at the process manager, it it seems that it does nothing, I will kill it; if it seems to be doing something, I let it run some more.
I'd rather be phishing!

Take off and reboot it from space - it's the only way to be sure.

My favorite example of this is Visual Studio, when it crashes while exiting. It will catch the crash, and restart itself  .

My only experience with this type of thing occurs when I'm drinking Red White & Blue. I suppose that's reason enough, you'd say to yourself; "guy's multitasking at the bar and his browser won't be graceful and the congeners are getting to his brain". But I have to say, WHEN this occurs NOW, I always think back to that time when it occured THEN.
And if I had it to do all over again, I'd simply grab the nearest chud by the neck of his Tee and smash him one in the gob.
Then see what happens.

I'm running Windows AI. When I try to run a program I really didn't mean to run, Clippy says "It seems you really didn't mean to run <application name>, so I'm going to ignore your request." I ![Heart | [heart]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) AI.

Ok so you are talking about VS2015 - I sit there patiently waiting for the bloody thing to finish, mainly because if I corrupt my primary work tool by jumping on it I'm going to feel like a right idiot as I spend 3 hours reinstalling it.

It's doubtful you'll have time to investigate properly what it's doing, but if you haven't knowingly given the program the right to access the Internet, pull the cable/slam your firewall down, to see how it reacts.
If it's something like acrobat, which shouldn't be performing any background operations anyway, kill the process tree.
ElseIf it's something that has to move files around, it might be waiting for a response from windows' delayed write processes, so I'd give it a few seconds.

Press the shutdown button and right before the computer actually shutsdown, after the process was killed, cancel the shutdown.

Check to see if there is any disk access going on. If not, KILL KILL KILL.
As for Windows update. I know a young lady who got fed up after waiting two hours for her PC to shut down. She pulled the plug and trashed the hard drive. I guess the warning is there fir folk like that.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
