# XTaskQueueCloseHandle

> XTaskQueueCloseHandle

Closes the task queue.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
void XTaskQueueCloseHandle(  
         XTaskQueueHandle queue  
)  
```

### Parameters

*queue*   \_In\_\
Type: XTaskQueueHandle

The queue to close.

### Return value

Type: void

## Remarks

**XTaskQueueCloseHandle** simply decrements an internal reference count on the task queue object. If there are callbacks still in the queue, those callbacks hold a reference on the queue object and they may still be called. This can pose a problem for app shutdown. When an app shuts down it will need to ensure no spurious callbacks execute after cleanup. XTaskQueue provides the [XTaskQueueTerminate](https://docs.xbox.com/reference/system/xtaskqueue/functions/xtaskqueueterminate.md) API to perform a controlled termination of a queue.

## Requirements

**Header:** XTaskQueue.h

**Library:** xgameruntime.lib

**Supported platforms:** Windows, XBOX One family consoles and XBOX Series consoles
