How to exit from stuck full screen application on Windows 10?
On Windows 7, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and selecting Task manager would almost always hide any full screen apps to the taskbar. In the case it didn't, it at least did put the task bar over the stuck application.
I had a stuck at loading on windows 10, and none of those tricks from Win7 worked. I could get into the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu. I could select Task manager, but the frozen program was still on fullscreen.
I eventually solved the issue by logging out, but that also closed other windows that I'd rather not have closed.
Is there an alternative to what I used to do on Windows 7? Maybe some registry fiddling would make the fullscreen mode more stable?

The usual way to get into and out of full screen mode is by using the
F11 key.
If this does not work for you, try to hit Alt+Space
to open the application menu and click (or use the keyboard) to choose
Restore or Minimize.
Another way is to hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc
to open the Task Manager. If it is still covered by the always-on-top
full-screen program, press Alt+O
to open its Options menu and then Enter to select Always on Top
for the Task Manager.
