Reboot
If none of the above steps helped, you must reboot the computer. To reboot a frozen computer, press and hold down the power button until the computer turns off. Once the computer is off, wait a few seconds, then turn the computer back on and let it start as normal.
Try to "force quit"
On a PC: press Ctrl, Alt, Delete keys
On a Mac: press Apple, Control, Ecs keys
Alternative
See if the computer can respond to anything by pressing the Caps Lock key on the keyboard and watching the Caps Lock LED (light) to see if it turns on and off. If the computer can turn on and off Caps Lock.
If nothing happens, the computer is dead locked and you must reboot the computer.
If the Caps Lock can turn on and off, Windows is still working, but another program may not be responding and causing the computer to freeze. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the Windows Task Manager. If the Task Manager can open, highlight the program that is not responding and choose End Task, which should unfreeze the computer.
