Frozen mouse - but important documents not saved?

My laptop froze, so the mouse no longer moves. But I still have some important Word documents open that I haven't saved yet. Was hoping Ctrl Alt Del would move the mouse again, but that didn't work. What should I do?

You could just unplug the mouse once, wait a moment, and then plug it back in. Maybe you have luck.

Otherwise it is also a question of when your laptop has been hanging. Maybe you just have to give it a few minutes to catch up, then save everything and shut it down once and restart it.

So if you still have the documents open you can save them with Ctrl + S

And you close it with Alt + F4 and Enter

Hopefully you have activated auto-save, then there will be backups. Otherwise, check whether it is really just the mouse. If nothing happens in 10 minutes, that's it.

Usually he has to choose a storage location if he has not done this before

Alt + F4 is actually sufficient, you don't have to press enter… You only have to press enter if you run alt + f4 on the desktop and want to shut down the pc

Yes but sometimes it comes up if you really want to shoot it without having saved it

I'm also aware, but something like that opens up when you have already saved something

Yes, but if the mouse hangs, it can also be that the entire screen hangs, which means that he does not know where he is saving something or whether he is saving something, it can also be that he accidentally does not save and it is then deleted

Then just thaw the mouse again?

The question is whether it's really just the mouse or, more likely, everything just crashed. In that case, it would not be enough to bring the mouse back to ambient temperature; you would have no choice but to restart the PC (after waiting a bit) and hope that your Office program has automatically saved the file. Often they do.

If it's really just the mouse, press Ctrl and s at the same time to save.

Therefore yes the enter because it automatically goes to whether you really do not want to save it and the enter executes that it is this memory and where he has saved it he can simply search

But does he want to save it?

Yes he does if he activates the process of saving I'm sorry I expressed something wrong

I notice, but it can also be that the keyboard does not work because the pc is also frozen…

But we don't know that, which is why I suggested the path that would go if you could still use the keyboard

He can test whether it works that means he does ctrl + s then type something that he can remember then press enter then alt + f4 then enter then the pc should shut down

Exactly

Or he forces the pc to be switched off or wait a bit before then he starts it again then opens it again word then normally a message should come up "Word was not closed properly, do you want to restore your documents?" or something like that

Yes or go to automatically saved files and choose the last saved one

But as Birnenmensch182 has said or has noted if he has deactivated auto-save, he has no backups

And i have to jz away sry

But they are still made by Word itself

Can you even enter anything? If so, try switching to word with alt + tab, and then just close word with alt and f4. Then you can save with enter.

if that doesn't work, wait a moment and just turn off the computer. Most of the time, word caches.

But you can turn it off

Yes, but these are always on from the start if you don't turn it off

Exactly
