Hey @NaomiNyasulu 

You may have better luck posting this in the Questions section of ArcGIS Pro, to force close ArcGIS Pro, you will need to use the Task Manager by right clicking your task bar and clicking Task Manager, or using Windows search to open it. Selecting Arc Pro and then hitting end will force close the program!

As @CodyPatterson stated, Windows Task Manager seems to be the only method to force ArcGIS Pro to close when things start getting unresponsive.

 

If you are able to access Diagnostic Monitor, do review the bottlenecks and that might help you understand what could be causing the slowness, such as latency with accessing and writing to/from a feature service data source.

Alternate idea: If you do get a reoccuring hang up with an existing geoprocessing tool, send the history item to the python window via history pane.

For some reason, the python execution seems to have much more robust execution where a GP tool had been stalling. 
Once you are in the python window with the geoprocessing script: add a parallel processing environment rule on the 1st line

  • This will allocate more processing power to ArcGIS Pro to hopefully yield a succesful execution:

arcpy.env.parallelProcessingFactor = "100%"
