Apps freezing when trying to resize using the green window control button

I have faced an issue recently, whenever I try to resize or open split screen using the green window control button ( on the top left ), or even just hover over it, the app I tried to resize freezes.


I just hovered over it and the app froze

Thank you for the video.


Troubleshooting Closing and Freezing Apps:


A. Force Quit All Apps:

Get to the Desktop, and then "Force Quit" all open apps.  See my User Tip: [command+tab] Use it to Access your Mac when Something is Not Responding - User Tip


B. View Activity Monitor:

See what it taking the most out of the CPU, particularly one of these opened apps. To Find Out which on, use Activity Monitor

  1. Go to: Applications
  2. Select: Utilities folder
  3. Open: Activity Monitor
  4. Click: Memory column
