I often lose my unsaved work because of Windows 8's stupid feature that ends unresponsive programs once the dialog box, "This program is not responding" appears. Are there any options I can disable it?

@MegaRodeon - The simplest way is to determine what causes the crash of a given application. Once you do that you come here, describe the problem, and we provide a solution. This behavior of crashing an application that has crashed isn't a new feature in Windows and not limited to Windows 8. – Ramhound – 2014-01-09T12:52:46.053

@Ramhound I think determining what causes Windows is quite useless, because I never did any significant changes to Windows 7 and 8, so Windows 8 starts crashing programs. But I think I should give it a shot though, of figuring out what's the problem. Thanks! – MegaRodeon – 2014-01-10T11:28:26.207
@MegaRodeon - All I know is that an application that is working will not crash. So if the application is crashing some instruction its doing is causing it to crash itself. – Ramhound – 2014-01-10T12:22:24.323
@Ramhound - Of course a working application won't crash itself and I don't see there's any problem with the instructions my programs are handling. Only when the program is unresponsive for a certain time and I try to click it, it crashes once the dialog box appears. And as I've said, it doesn't happen in Windows 7 so I'm thinking it could be changes made to either registry or Local Group Policies in Windows 8. – MegaRodeon – 2014-01-11T05:08:00.227
