Why can't I close Finder on Mac?

If your cursor is stuck, use the keyboard shortcut Command + Option + Escape to open the Force Quit menu. This will bring up a new menu where you need to choose Finder and click Relaunch.

Is Finder always open on Mac?

The Finder is the first thing that you see when your Mac finishes starting up. It opens automatically and stays open as you use other apps. It includes the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen and the desktop below that.

How do I fix Finder error on Mac?

Most of the time, a simple force quit and relaunch brings Finder back to life. If it takes more than a restart or two to get things back to normal, it's most likely an issue of corrupted system files.
