Periodic logging out of programmes mac mini Monterey

Hi folks,

My question is basic: Is this normal and if not, how worried should I be and how do I fix.

My problem: I log into my mac mini m1 daily and deal with my work and leisure like most of us.


However, every couple of days, I will try sending an email or try visiting my social media, only to find I'm not logged in.


Every time it happens, I've been innocently working away, unaware that it has happened. I may have been using these services only minutes before.


An important point is that it happens to everything at the same time.

There seems to be no reason I can find.


Earlier today, I had to log into my Outlook mail account, Pinterest, Facebook, Amazon.


If it's an OS thing, could anyone provide a link giving upgrade advice, like DO / DON'T / MAKE SURE / ETC!


Many thanks for any help and advice,

Best wishes,

Jim

Hi, many thanks for replying.

The only maintenance app I have is Etrecheck Pro. I downloaded Onyx a few years ago out of curiosity but never got around to opening it!

Before I updated to Monterey a few years back, I did have "Malwarebytes" scanner.

I don't have any other apps in the categories you mentioned.

The only others I have are a free You Tube downloader app, and an audio file format converter.

Other than those I'm fairly clean.


Thanks again
