Quite often I shut down a software application through taskmanager because it freezes/gives an error/etc.. After that, when I try to restart the application (simply by double-clicking its shortcut), it doesn't start anymore (the process appears in task manager, but the application doesn't open up). The only way to then again start it is by restarting my pc and trying again.
My questions: (1) what could cause this behaviour (2) are there other ways to still start the applications without having to restart my system?
Thanks in advance.
