Mac Air M2 gets easily warm after updating to MacOS Tahoe

Have you updated your Adobe apps to the latest versions? They are running fine on my MacBook Pro, no issues under Tahoe.

Reverting back to the prior OS is not for the faint of heart. The only way to do so is to erase your internal drive, reinstall the older macOS, then restore your data from a backup that was made before you upgraded to Tahoe. If you don't have such a backup (why not?!?), you can manually copy data from your Mac to an external drive, then manually copy it back after you wipe/reinstall. Your settings, configurations, app licenses, etc., would all need to be reestablished.

When I was using the MacOs Sequoia and run apps like Photoshop and Illustrator, my Mac doesn't get warm easily. After I updated my MacOs version from Sequoia to Tahoe, my Mac easily gets warm.

Is there any issues with M2 and the new OS? How do I revert back to the previous Os.

Thanks.

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.

Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 

Does the issue present in this mode ?

If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.

Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.

If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.

To Drill Down even further and to avoid a session of Q&A, Q&A  and Q&A  

Download the Application Etrecheck  ( External Link ) directly from the Developer.

The Application is Not a " Silver Bullet "  and is  only a tool to examine the Hardware / Software used on this computer

What is the users tolerance for " Risk " ?

1 - Is this your Only computer and you would not be able to live without it for a fews days if the downgrade procedure goes wrong ?

2 - Does the user have access to another Apple computer, that currently is running macOS 15 / 26 , that could be used to Revive or Restore the computer  Firmware  ?

3 - Does the user have at least 2 -  no -  make that 3 backups from a time before the computer was upGraded to macOS 26 Tahoe ?

Have a 3-2-1 Rescue Plan in place and always current

3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 off site incase of natural disaster or un-natural disaster.

Each of the above should be done to a Dedicated Single Purposed External Drive 

Below link is intended to augment what TM Backup does

If the owner of this computer should answer NO  to any of the above questions

Then downgrading the computer Is Not Recommended
