Step-by-Step Fix

1

Wait it Out

Sometimes the app is just busy processing a heavy task.

2

Force Quit

Use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to end the process.

3

Disable Hardware Acceleration

If available in settings, turn it off to reduce GPU-related freezes.

When to See a Technician

If it freezes at the same percentage every time, the file you are working on might be corrupted.
