Hello,


One of the tags you have is macOS 27, so I will assume you have an apple silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, or M6). You can try these steps:

  1. Force quit numbers: press Option, command and escape to open force quit menu.
  2. click numbers, then click force quit
  3. Restart device
  4. Hold shift while opening numbers to avoid any corrupt data from launching


If this doesn't work:


  1. open finder
  2. go to the applications folder
  3. Drag numbers to the trash
  4. reinstall numbers


Hope this helps,


Thanks
