First, try waiting a good few minutes in case the computer is just taking a long time to load data. Walk away, get a snack, and then come back. If it’s still frozen, see if any of the programs will let you close them. If not, try doing a “force quit,” which on a PC is a combination of keystrokes: control, alt, delete. That should allow you to close programs and start all over. If none of these tricks works, then turn your computer completely off, wait a few minutes, and turn it back on. In 90% of cases, this resets the computer and “fixes” the problem.
