Finder not Responding Macbook Pro 2018

Hi, while transferring files from iCloud to EDD, Finder stopped responding. Forced Quit (Relauch). Now I can't use Finder saying "It is not responding". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hold the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec to force a shut down,

then Reboot as normal.

sounds like a kernel panic with the way you described finder after force quitting/relaunching


nothing serious, the macbook just received and attempted a "task" or "job" too big the it was not able to handle or the correlating interprocess communication with your app EDD, icloud drive and finder said yeah, idk what you want but ok ill try and got stuck on the endless possible way to make it work but is not meant to work and so things just broke lol


you should be ok with force restarting the macbook
