Hold the Shift key and Launch Safari - the is a Safe Boot of the application


1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.

Good work attempting to Reinstall Monterey but unfortunately it has not worked.


Understand, we are all working Remotely from all around the world. 


Therefore, we do not have the On-Hands experience the User ( you ) has with this computer


The next best thing for us to having an actual On-Hand experience  with this computer is to follow the steps below


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


The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).



It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.


 The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information. 


Post back the Full Report - copy and paste - using the Additional Text Icon ( 3rd Icon to last )



We can have a look at the report for possible issues and may have possible suggestions to resolve the issues.

Thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn’t seem to have solved the problem. I restarted the computer in safe mode, then tried starting safari in safe mode and it still is non-responsive. I would have thought that a complete software reinstall would’ve fixed it, but it doesn’t seem to have. I’m not sure what else I can do.
