Hi,

In the future, when using the Force Quit dialog, don’t do anything with the 
Finder, it will likely just get you into an unwanted problem.  For now, to get 
you back up and running, press and hold down the power button for about 10 
seconds.  This will force shutdown your Mac.  Wait 10 to 20 seconds then press 
the power button normally to turn your Mac back on.  Everything should be back 
to normal again.  Wasn’t really following this thread, so, I’m not sure what 
caused your issue, but this is very uncharacteristic.

Later...
