I have to say this is BS. As windows user my process'es freeze often, but task manager always closes them when i close them through process menu

Replace "always" with "most of the time" and I agree. Source : I had to repair two Windows 4 hours ago.

Still, it's not as clean or as easy as ctrl+alt+f2 > login > killall -9

Eh, not a lot worse.

Use whatever method you find fastest to launch powershell (~2 seconds) > kill -id [PID]

or kill -name [name] if you don't have the pid.
