Usage notes

Common mistakes

封闭 is often used for physical sealing or isolating, not for closing apps or windows on a computer; use 关闭 (guānbì) for software.

Formality

封闭 can sound formal; in casual speech, 关上 (guānshang) or 关掉 (guāndiào) are more common for closing doors or turning off devices.
