Safari

None of the fixes work: Force Quit, update Mac, Close Windows, Click for new windows when re-starting, and all the same Windows open. No "X" to shut down windows. The "X" is gone and Windows just eat up RAM. Ideas?

Safari can’t open any window Hi there, This is a problem I’ve seen brought up here by others, but so far no working solution has been provided. Since my last Safari window was closed, no new window can be opened, in none of the several possible ways, and Safari is unusable. The menu bar is active, but most of the menus - most notably the “New window” option - do not work. It is a MBP 16” 2021 M1 Max, running Ventura 13.2.1, Safari is of course Version 16.3 (18614.4.6.1.6) I’ve tried a startup in safe mode, tried deleting extensions, removing all cookies and history… Safari is just out of order. Read through all suggestions given to others - none of them works. One suggestion was to reinstall macOS as a whole - I’d rather avoid that… perhaps just wait for the next update and see if that solves the issue. Any other suggestions? Many thanks in advance...

I understand you want to close an open Safari window. File > Close Window should work, as does its keyboard equivalent ⇧ ⌘ W. Similarly, ⌘ W closes an open tab. If that is not working something is obviously not working as intended.

Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.

Where is the power button?

The power button is at the top row of keys, far right side. On newer portable Macs the Power key is also the Finger Print ID key.

The power button on your model MBP is the key at the upper right corner of its keyboard. It is also used for Touch ID.

Press and hold to force the Mac to shut down.
