When closing your form, the application should handle closing process in the task Manager, if it dosent, then you have some ressources used that blocks the application from terminating.
You should dispose all disposable ressources and terminates your application threads in the form closing event!

Have you tried using process.Kill() to kill process in task manager

C#

using System.Diagnostics;
 foreach (Process proc in Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK"))
            {
                proc.Kill();
            }

Hope it helps you.

Just Place ane event in the xaml code

Closing="Window_Closing"

Then write a event handler for that closing event in .cs page

Code:

C#

private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
       {
           Application.Current.Shutdown();

       }
