1. select the CPU tab.
2. Click on Hook.
3. In the toolbar, click on the Action button (looks like a gear or (…) button), depending on your version of macOS
4. select Sample Process from there.
5. A new window will appear, choose Save… from that window
6. Locate the file, compress it.
7. Send the compressed file to us directly either via a PM or email.

You can also Force Quit Hook from Activity Monitor. while Hook is selected, just hit the stop button that has an x in it (in toolbar).
