ELI5: Why does does unresponsive software sometimes start working normally the second after I try to close it?

It’s not loading, I try to close it, it loads normally, then it accepts the close. Why?

That depends on why it's being unresponsive.

Usually, it's unresponsive because some process is blocked or waiting on a resource that it can't access. When you click the close button, or when you force it to close via the task manager, you tell those processes to stop doing whatever they were doing. Since they're no longer waiting on resources, the program becomes responsive again--but since you clicked close, it closes.
