@historystamp the app does not show up in any of the places i checked: force quit menu, dock or with terminal. And yes, I have macOS Catalina

| May 9, 2020 at 5:25 | comment | added | historystamp | Well, you have other issues too. I'd suggest you reboot. Start activity monitor before you do anything else. If it doesn't start, try a safe boot. Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. The boot up will take longer than normal because the filesystem on the startup drive is being checked and repaired as needed. All about safe mode including what features and apps safe boot leaves out. support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 You may have other issues or you could go on a wild goose chase tracking down the problems with safe boot. | |

| May 8, 2020 at 0:18 | comment | added | historystamp | How did you determine the app wasn't running? I'd look in /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor for the app. You could restart the finder command +option + esc. When you quit the finder, it will restart where it left off. | |
| May 7, 2020 at 23:00 | comment | added | Jeremy | if it becomes a persistent problem, you might be able to make a simple applescript which would control the window and then quit the app. I've done similar things in the past with regard to moving the windows to specific coords on my second monitor, and then resizing it, all per a single applescript. if you can find the "name" of the window, you should be able to control it. | |
| May 7, 2020 at 22:58 | comment | added | Jeremy | can you relaunch the app and then try to close the window first and then quit again? I recall my son having issues with a java-based app that left windows "open" but unable to be interacted with. I had him reboot and tried a couple other things (which I don't recall as this was a couple years ago)... I believe ultimately we were able to force the window to close first, and then quit. | |
