Issue on MacMini Since Updating To 15.6.1 from 15.6

Ever since update, I cannot upload, attach or download files (jpegs or PDFs) - can't attach files to an email in gmail, upload photos to Facebook, save a PDF file form an online account to desktop, etc.

I have shut down and restarted multiple times and nothing else was changed on my system. When I go to do any of these tasks I get the spinning wheel and have to force close the browser.

I have an older iMac in the same room that is still on 15.6 with no issues.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue with 15.6.1 and when it will be fixed?

If not any idea why this just started happening?

Thanks.

To trouble shoot further you can:

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

***wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

Why would this just start happening after recent IOS update?

I will try some of your suggestions but:

Using Apple wired keyboard.

No extensions or e3d party apps VPNs etc.

Only peripheral is SSD hard drive for Time Machine.

This is a pretty new and "clean" MacMini and not heavily used.

Thanks.
