If an application on your Mac is misbehaving, force-quit it by launching Activity Monitor. This application is located in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Activity Monitor’s main window lists all processes and apps currently running on your Mac. It automatically updates every five minutes to reflect changes in app usage statistics. You can sort processes by name or search for unresponsive ones to force-quit them.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete
If you have a Mac, you can get your desired action with the command “Ctrl+Alt+Delete.” The shortcut is similar to the one used on a Windows PC: the three finger salute. It opens a menu that contains several functions: Lock, Switch User, Task Manager, Network Settings, and Ease of Access Utilities. But you have to remember that Mac users do not have only one keyboard combination. There are multiple combinations available for every function on a Mac.
In some cases, the command can be used to force-quit a certain application. The command is equivalent to the Apple menu’s Force-Quit menu. The frozen application must be closed before the Force-Quit menu reappears. Once you’ve completed this step, you must restart the Mac or use an external PC keyboard. You can also use the Forward Delete key on a Mac keyboard. The Forward Delete key is located below the “Help” key.
To force-quit a certain program, hold down the key combination of Option and Esc. Command+Alt+Delete brings up the multifunctional task manager. This option forces the frozen program to quit. It should be noted, however, that this option will sacrifice any unsaved changes. Therefore, if you wish to force-quit a frozen program, be sure to enable the auto-save feature.
