Siri not responding MacBook Air M1 Monterey

After I updated my Mac to the new macOS Monterey Siri just stops working suddenly. It's not gonna hear to hey Siri and even manually clicking on it doesn't work. It starts working after a restart but shows the same issues again after some time.


Also, I have noticed that whenever Siri stops working the shortcut button for Siri stops working, and also the escape key stops working.


Is this a software update bug?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

Does the same problem happen when booting into Safe Mode ? Be sure to choose the method from Apple Silicon .


If the issue is not presented in Safe Mode and to further trouble Shoot the issue is is suggested to Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Once that is done - log out of your original account and into the dummy account. Again - test if the original issue is till happening.


If it does not happen in the dummy account - it is reasonable to conclude thee is some piece of Third Party Software as the cause of this issue and or something specific to the original user account.


Then, the next steps could be >>


Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.


The application is free or paid from added features.
