I still can't find the info on how to stop a macro. There is no key to press to stop a macro so your computer is just sitting there doing stuff for no reason and you can't even stop it. [...] and can't even find an answer in the programs help page. There is a glaring need to STOP A MACRO and I can't even find out how to do it. I can't even find info on it if I GOOGLE IT. [...]

Reason: Edited the message as it seemed as an superfluous escalation because of an one-time-poster (removed their post as well).

Please, there is no need to escalate here because of a single post of a one-time poster. I removed their post and your angry reaction to it, because I saw it as counterproductive for your request.
Unfortunately, most community members here don't know much about the usage of PMC, because they prefer to program directly in AutoHotkey.
Also, afaik, Pulover is a busy guy, and can't always be here. Maintaining such a huge tool for free is already a big endeavour, imho.

I hope you will soon get an answer to your question, but I would recommend to keep your posts focused on the actual problem. Thank you!

I have never used PMC, but it seems that stopping a running macro works similar like stopping a running AHK script. Either add a hotkey, or use the context menu of the trayicon.
https://www.macrocreator.com/docs/Playback.html :
Stop wrote:Stop
Selects the Hotkey to stop execution and return it to start.You can also stop Playback by double-clicking the TrayIcon or right-clicking on it and selecting Stop. You can make combinations with modifiers such as Ctrl + X.
I hope this helps.
