What are the signs of third party app interference on Mac?

How do i find out which second party app in interfering with my macbook pro M1? I'm in the process of going back and forth with apple support upper levels but nothing back from them yet. One of my apps in interfering with a single key command in Logic, which was working perfectly for years :-)


Thanks!

There are many signs of app interference ranging from odd keystroke behaviors to severe performance degradation. Sometimes problems seem random and sometimes problems can be recreated at will.


One simple way to discover if apps may be in conflict is to run an EtreCheck evaluation of your Mac and post the generated report back here in a reply. EtreCheck is a safe and highly regarded utility from a trusted developer and respected ASC contributor. The diagnostic report will not include any personal info. It simply gathers specifics about hardware performance and installed software that might be in conflict with the OS.


Please navigate to EtreCheck.com and download the free version. Be sure to Allow Full Disk Access when you install the app. Once you’ve run the app and created your report please post it with your reply to this message. 


Please note you must upload the full report. To see how, please click >  How to use Add Text when posting… EtreCheck Report.


We’ll use your EtreCheck report to look for the things that may be causing your problem and advise how to correct them.
