How to Force Quit an Application on a Chromebook

Overview

This tutorial will guide you through how to turn the Caps Lock feature on a Chromebook.

If utilizing an Edmonds College-issued Chromebook, logon will correspond to your Triton (Student email) or your employee email credentials.

Steps

Locate and open the Chrome browser in the application dock at the bottom of the screen.
Access the Chrome browser settings menu, which looks like three dots stacked on top of each other, located at the top-right of the screen.
Select More Tools in the Menu
Click on Task Manager
