NoClose is a Windows tool that allows users to safeguard their work by minimizing the risk of unintended window closure. It disables the corresponding interface button to prevent potential workflow disruptions due to misclicks. There are other solutions for configuring the desktop UI such as TweakUI.

Main purpose

There are instruments to configure rules for the automatic deactivation of the Close button. Users are able to specify individual window classes and titles that will serve as triggers. As a result, the software will intelligently turn on upon encountering a predefined rule.
