The App Shortcut

One of the most common problems that we face is a crashing program. No matter how much the laptop's batteries and slow internet connection irritates you, crashed programs beats them all. This article will help you to know how to force close a crashed program which remains stuck.
Force Closing a Crashed Program Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Quitting a crashed program using keyboard is one of the most basic and the easiest way.

1. To quit a crashed app, press 'Option+Command+Escape' simultaneously. On your keyboard, you can find the 'Command' button located on the bottom-left, 'Alt/Option' on the bottom-left (next to Command button) and 'Escape' on the upper-left corner.
2. By pressing down the 'Option+Command+Escape' keys simultaneously, your system will load a 'Force Quit App' window. This window will show you a list of programs running. The program, next to which you see 'Not Responding', is the one which has crashed. Select the crashed program, and then click the 'Force Quit' button. After you complete these steps, within a few seconds your system will close the unresponsive program.

Force Closing Using Apple Menu
If somehow you fail to quit an unresponsive application, then do not worry. You still have other options to do so. Once you fail to close a crashed app using your keyboard, you can try force closing by using 'Apple Menu'. To force close using 'Apple Menu', follow these steps:

1. At the upper-left corner of Mac screen, you will find the 'Apple' icon. Click on that icon.
2. By clicking on it, your system will load a drop-down list. With a number of other available options, select 'Force Quit' from that drop-down menu.
3. After you select to forcefully close the app, the system will directly lead you to a 'Force Quit App' window. In this window, look for the application next to which 'Not Responding' is written. Select that application and then click 'Force Quit'.
4. Within seconds of clicking this option, your system will forcefully close the crashed program once you press the.

Force Close Using Dock
Another way to force close a crashed application is to quit it using the dock. Just hold the 'Option' key and then right-click on the app's icon. Your system will immediately lead you to a small window with some options. From that small window's list, select 'Force Quit', and your system will forcefully close the unresponsive application.
Note: Before you forcefully quit any program, double-check if the unresponsive program is still frozen or not as sometimes while opening the 'Force Quit' window, the program un-freezes on its own.
