Basically the question is what is the Windows equivalent to Linux' changing tty, login in and killing processes from there?

Situation: Once in a while I switch back to Windows to play games when there seems no reasonable way to get them running under Linux. Problem is, that some of these games tend to crash frequently (screen freeze). However, when I try to open the task manager, I will get a black screen or simply cannot get out of the game, requiring me to restart my computer.Being a while into Linux, were you are usually not required to restart just because of unimportant applications, I figured that Windows might have considered the problem, too.Might be I want to run another important application in background that should not stop during playtime.

tl;dr How to kill processes in windows when it's not possible to switch to Task Manager rsp. Alt-Tab to any other window?
