Sometimes an application may become stuck, or frozen. When this happens, you won't be able to close the window or click any buttons within the application.
- Solution 1:
- Force quit the application. On a PC, you can press (and hold) Ctrl+Alt+Delete (the Control, Alt, and Delete keys) on your keyboard to open the Task Manager. On a Mac, press and hold Command+Option+Esc. You can then select the unresponsive application and click End task (or Force Quit on a Mac) to close it.
