"Force quit" a background task
In all the years that we've had background tasks, I've almost never been able to cancel one successfully. Whenever a task hangs up for unknown reasons, and I hit cancel, it just hangs on the 'cancelling' step and the only way to stop it is to force-quit InDesign, which can equal lost work and damaged files.
I would like to see a more assertive way to force shut down of a background task that isn't cooperating.

This has been an issue for a very long time! Still in 2019 it's an issue. Work arounds offered online aren't working. There needs to be a on/off toggle for background tasks so that we can produce a pdf without the background task manager in the first place.

This is ridiculous. Fix this problem adobe. Even hard shutting down the computer does not force the program to close. Very unhappy.
