While force-closing generally doesn’t hurt the application, it should not be your first action to an unresponsive app. Sources: https://lizamartinee.wordpress.com/2020/10/16/macos-how-to-force-quit-an-app/  The First Method to Try The first method to force quit an application when it is not responding is using the Finder. All you have to do is right-click on the “Apple” icon located towards the upper-left of your screen and hit “Force Quit.” This action will launch a dialogue box labeled “Force Quit Applications.” You can also access the same menu by holding Option + Command + Escape on your keyboard. Once you hit all the three keys together, the “Force Quit Applications” will show up. Find and click the icon of the unresponsive application in the Dock.
