How to Force Quit an Application
- 1). Click on the "X" in the upper-right hand corner of the application's window. You may have to wait a few seconds if the app is unresponsive, but eventually a box should pop up asking if you'd like to close the unresponsive application. Click "End Now." If this box does not appear, move on to Step 2.
- 2). Press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" and then click "Start Task Manager."
- 3). Move to the "Applications" tab.
- 4). Click on the application you want to force quit, then click the "End Task" button. When the box appears asking if you'd like to quit the application, click "End now."
