A few days after my Ventura update now constant spinning wheel

Greetings all,

I have had my MacBook for about 10 months, loving it so much. A few days ago I upgraded to Ventura, all was great. However I usually clam up my PC and leave it on just closed and don't need to turn it off much. I noticed that the last two days, I have started to see the spinning wheel so much. Started yesterday when I opened my laptop and the screensaver was spinning. That took 2 minutes, then every program open also was spinning. I rebooted, seemed to fix it, but happened again today. When it happens it seems like every program experiences spinning wheel. I have to then close everything and reboot for it to work normally again.

I am chucking it up to upgrading to Ventura? not sure tho, but that's the only thing that has changed. Anyone else experience this?

MacBook Pro M1 Max

32 GB

Ventura 13

373 GB Free / 500 GB

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

I removed windows defender, I saw that it was taking up quite a bit of CPU and I right on it and just sent it to the trash. So far it seems like I haven't had the spinning wheel yet (crossing fingers). I also stopped using stage manager, not sure which of those worked. I did have one occurrence of the spinning wheel with adobe acrobat pdf. I had to kill it, I think that is still using Rosetta tho.

Either way I removed the windows defender and it seems to have done the trick for me so far.

Try a safe boot. Shut off your computer and then power it back on. Keep holding the power button until it says “loading startup options”. Hold “shift” and click “continue in safe mode”.
