Ipad freezes when using sidecar. It might be a refreshing issue because actions can take place behind frozen screen but just doesn't display on Ipad. Imac works fine. Use to happened once a week before, became worse (every 7-10 min) after update. Plugged, unplugged, another apple usb-c cable, bluetooth/wifi on and off. Extremely frustrating.
iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
@nbotros I have an Imac pro 2017 and an Ipad pro. I have performed these troubleshoots and a safe reset. Right now I would prefer to go back to the previous OS as I didn't have the time out nearly as much.
cfequiere,
We appreciate those details. Since you can not go back to the previous iPadOS, let's have you reach out to Apple Support directly here, as this will require some closer guidance: Get Support
Take care.
