You can also press “Command + Option + Esc”, it does the same thing. Then highlight the unresponsive app, and click “Force Quit” to exit. To do so, go to the Apple logo on the top left corner, click on it and select the “Force Quit” option.
It may become responsive again (hopefully).
If you haven’t saved your work, wait for a few minutes. Reasons: the app may be waiting for other hardware resources to become available, or the software may have a bug that drops itself into a calculation loop. The application won’t respond to any commands. When you click around, the app just hangs with the cursor spinning like a pinwheel. For example, Adobe Photoshop, iMovie, or sometimes the web browser you use ( Safari, Chrome, Firefox).

Scenario 1: An app is frozen (you can still move cursor). It is true that any one of the above measures may fix the problem, so by all means try them one at a time.
