How do you quit all applications running in the background on MacBook
Although some background processes on MacBook are helpful, many are unnecessary and slow down your device in the long run. Closing these apps can free up processor capability and improve performance. Here's how to close the ones you don't need:
- Press Option, Shift, and Esc to open "Force Quit Applications."
- Select a specific app and click Force Quit.
- Continue selecting unwanted apps and closing them. Do not close apps you cannot identify.
- Confirm the quitting process for each app.
You can also use Terminal to quit all apps at once with a command:
terminal
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to quit all'
