Ah, the classic frozen screen dilemma! Fear not, fellow gamer. The quickest way to close a frozen CS:GO is to summon the Task Manager with the good ol' Ctrl + Alt + Del combo and end the task directly from there. If that doesn't work, keeping Alt + F4 as your next go-to move can sometimes force close the game. And as a last resort, a full system restart will definitely do the trick - though, admittedly, it's a bit like using a sledgehammer to swat a fly.

Just Alt + F4. Works every time.

Had this happen during a match once. Couldn't use the Task Manager because the game wouldn't minimize. Ended up having to restart my PC. Not ideal, but it got the job done. So yeah, if all else fails, a restart is your best friend.
