How to fix a frozen or unresponsive computer/laptop

If your computer or laptop has become frozen or unresponsive, you can try the following steps to fix it:

Wait a few minutes: 

Sometimes, the computer can become unresponsive because it's busy performing a task or because of high CPU usage. In such cases, you can wait a few minutes to see if it responds again.

Force Quit: 



If a program is causing the computer to freeze, try force quitting it. On Windows, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then select Task Manager and choose the program you want to end. On Mac, press Command+Option+Esc, then select the program you want to force quit.

Restart the computer: 

Restarting your computer or laptop can often resolve freezing or unresponsiveness issues. On Windows, click the Start button and select Restart. On Mac, click the Apple menu and select Restart.


Check for updates: 

Make sure your operating system and software are up to date. Check for updates and install any that are available.

Scan for malware: 

Malware can cause your computer to freeze or become unresponsive. Scan your computer with a reputable antivirus program to check for and remove any malware.

Check hardware: 

If your computer continues to freeze or become unresponsive, it may be a hardware issue. Check the RAM, hard drive, and other components to make sure they're working properly.

Seek professional help: 

If none of the above solutions work, it's best to seek professional help from a computer technician. They can diagnose and fix the problem for you.
