Generally try checking it isn’t only one application that’s the issue. The protected memory should mean that if one goes down the other apps should be unaffected. Force quit is a better option than shutting down.

Hard reset with the power button should only be done as a last resort and after doing so you should go into Disk Utility and run a repair disk permissions. If this finds any issues then run it again until it doesn’t.

(Unplug USB/Power/hold down button/find resolve) Thanks!
