If it's still unresponsive after a few minutes, try force quit the application. To do this, move your cursor to the application icon on the dock (normally located at the bottom of your screen).
Then right click on the app icon. Wait until a pop-up menu displays. MacOS will then present the option for you to 'Quite.' Alternatively, you can click on the Apple logo, select Force Quit, then highlight the app you want to exit, and hit the blue 'Force Quit' button. Next, check whether the app has a newer version. For example, if you are using Photoshop, go to to see if the version you're using is the latest.

How to unfreeze: optimize login items and reset NVRAM Disabling unnecessary startup items is simple, just do a Spotlight search for 'Users & Groups' (alternatively, click on the Apple icon, then System Preferences, click on Users & Groups).
