What is the keyboard combination to break software exe

Hi @GSBroo,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be glad to help you! 

To interrupt or break the execution of a running software or script on a Windows system, including your HP Envy 17-de0013dx, you typically use the following keyboard combination:

Ctrl + C

This combination is commonly used to break or terminate the execution of scripts, commands, or running programs, especially in command-line interfaces like Command Prompt or PowerShell.

Additional Key Combinations:

Ctrl + Break: Sometimes, for longer-running scripts or processes, especially in older systems or specific environments, Ctrl + Break might be required. However, not all keyboards have a Break key.

Ctrl + Shift + Esc: If you're trying to stop a program that's unresponsive, you can open Task Manager directly with this combination and end the task manually.

Alt + F4: This combination can be used to close the active window or program, which effectively stops its execution.

These methods should help you interrupt or terminate a running software or script on your HP Envy laptop.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
