Some punctuation in there would be nice. Are you saying apps and task manager hang when you exit the game?

Keep an eye on your processes in the CPU % column. See if one of those processes are spiking.

What are your system specs?

i have simular issues with warrock, reinstalling the game helped, and rebooting... after a while it fixes it self.

so i dont know, what is wrong with the software. but it just may be a buggy program.
