Safari in the way

I have tried to update system to macOS Monterey but Safari will not quit for the install to be complete. I have tried to force quit, but "Quit Safari" is grayed out. Any ideas?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

With all other apps quit, press and hold the power button to force a hard shutdown.

Press—and hold—forces the Mac to shut down hard.

You will need to hold the power button for ~ten seconds.

But youmseem to have gotten around whatever had Safari wedged.
