macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 mouse pointer disappearance, OS crashes, and inconsistencies on Mac

Am finding Tahoe flaky, mouse pointer disappearing when changing screen connections, OS crashing, inconsistencies. Not remembering protocol to unlock Mac from Apple Watch. Lots of little poor coding, glitches. Any one else?

I'm finding it generally stable, personally. Definitely some graphical UI bugs.


My Apple Watch unlocks fine on 26.0.1, but over the years it occasionally stops working. Sometimes turning the setting to unlock with a watch in System Settings > Touch ID & Password off then back on fixes it, if not then signing out and back into the Apple Account then turning unlock back on has, for me.
