big sur 11.3 display issues

Since updating to Big Sur 11.3 my Mac just randomly keeps shutting down and my screen keeps holding onto small pieces of certain dialogue boxes. Anyone else having these issues?

Screen freezes in Big Sur 11.2.3 I updated today to Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3. Since the update, any mouse I use only works intermittently between freezes. I've tried with various combinations of my Macbook Air connected to an external monitor/mouse, no monitor but with mouse or Magic Trackpad, and with nothing connected and using only the built-in track pad. I can type or move the mouse around for 30 seconds to a minute, then everything freezes and I can't do anything. Any suggestions for fixing this? Even typing this message has been stop and start.

Big Sur slow startup time Since upgrading to Big Sur the startup up my 2017 iMac has increased massively. It takes at least 4mins to get to a semi useable state, 20 secs of that is a black screen just before presenting the desktop, compared to about 90 secs previously. I've not added any other startup items since upgrading. Anyone else have similar issues?

Mac popups keep freezing on big sur After a reformat and update to the latest version of mac osx big sur afte, after a while all mac popup windows freeze (e.g. going to preferences -> general, the window is then frozen and i can't select anything but i can go back for some reason from the header). Saving a file to my desktop also is frozen as i can't click the save button or any directory folders. This is resolved by restarting the mac but it's tiring to having to restart so often just to fix the issue. Apple needs to sort this bug out

Hi,

If your MacBook Pro has Intel Processor, resetting SMC could solve the issue.

How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support

If it doesn't help, try to check your MacBook Pro with Apple Diagnostics if it reports something display or display controller related errors(VFD001 to VFD007).
