Craig234: I'm rather furious at gog. I ran a game in my library, and it completely hung my computer - a black screen, no ctrl-alt-delete, no alt-tab, no clt-f4, just a power shutdown. It's not the first game to do this.
I expect gog to provide some quality control. If I'm running Windows 10 64-bit, as I am, games should not do this.
If they DO need something to be done to prevent the hang, the game should make that VERY clear and not run without informing the player and until they're done.
I lost a number of unsaved files by having to power-off.
This should help if you get that problem when some games hard crash your desktop I expect gog to provide some quality control. If I'm running Windows 10 64-bit, as I am, games should not do this.

To add a virtual desktop, open up the new Task View pane by clicking the Task View button (two overlapping rectangles) on the taskbar, or by pressing the Windows Key + Tab. In the Task View pane, click New desktop to add a virtual desktop. If you have two or more desktops already open, the "Add a desktop" button will appear as a gray tile with a plus symbol. You can also quickly add a desktop without entering the Task View pane by using the keyboard shortcut Windows Key + Ctrl + D.
You can switch to new desktop and end task of the old one escaping this issue. give it a shot next time.
