Finder not responding

Hold Power button in until it turns off, then...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

"Finder not responding: On my MacBook Pro that has Mojave the Finder is not responding. The menu at the top is missing. I don't know how to restart it or shut it down without it. I would like to try it in safe mode, but first I need to shut it down. The trash is also not working, but the rest, including Safari seems to be OK."

Try Getting to Finder:

Something may not be responding. So try manually getting into Finder. Here is how:

A. First - Get to Finder:

[Hold Down: command + Press: tab] until you get to Finder (the smileyface).

B. From Finder, Force Quit the Application:

1. Go to: Apple menu
2. Select: Force Quit...
3. Select: the application (an all other application ending in "(Not Responding)"
4. Click: Force Quit button
5. Click: Force Quit button

@BDAqua - would you be willing to have a look at this Thread on similar issue that appears in this thread.

You've done good over there, only thing I can think of is Reinstalling the PS or trying a new usr account if they can even do that.

Thank you very much - good idea
