Hi,
Does Force Quit not work ?
Press the keys CMD + ALT + ESC all at the same time and choose the errant app in the list and click the Force Quit Button.
Right Clicking the icon in the DOCK may also show the Force Quit option if the app is not responding.
If none of those work can you launch Activity Monitor ?
It is Applications/Utilities.
Find the App in the list, highlight then use the icon that looks like a Stop Sign to Force Quit. It will ask you to confirm.
The last of all options is to hold down the power button for 5-7 secs and this will shut down the Mac.
It will not save (or try to save) anything during this move. https://zxcmhk.weebly.com/blog/mac-osx-what-is-directoryaccessapp-used-for.
