Ever since I got my Mac (which has been 2 years now), the Notes app ALWAYS has to be force quit. Whether i'm trying to update my computer or just quit the app in general, it can never be shut down with a normal quit like any other program on the mac. I've updated to the latest software 13.5 and it still does this. I have no clue why.
MacBook Pro
Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.
NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac?

I would file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
This is a sad situation. Is there actually a solution but it’s hard to find?
