Hey there, ÁJ.
Got it, thank you for clarifying further. If you haven't yet, you can see if restarting your Mac device may help: Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support Restarting can seem like a simple step, but it can sometimes help resolve unexpected issues as it can refresh data/software.
If the issue continues after a restart, another thing you can try to help isolate this issue is to log into your Mac in a temporary new user: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support A new user doesn't have custom or changed settings, and can help determine possible next steps by isolating this further, as it can show if the issue is inside your current user or not.
You could also test in safe mode as well to try to see if this issue happens there as well. Safe mode only allows certain software to load, which can help isolate this further or even possibly resolve the issue, as it can do a basic check up on your startup disk. You can read more about safe mode here (which includes on how to start up in safe mode, if needed): How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Take care.
