base m4 mac mini apps not responding

Since I updated to 15.3.1, when opening new applications, they show as "Not responding" in activity monitor for 1-2 minutes. This has been happening consistently over the past two weeks. Has anyone else had this issue or found a solution for it? This happens with native apps and third party.

Mac mini, macOS 15.3

Switch between the apps on first click fails I have a problem with switching between the apps. After a certain IDLE time (I think so - just a guess - because it happens sporadically) the app doesn't open with a click. See video on first second, i click on the app "phpstorm" but i opens any minimized windows. The app only opens after a further click. The first time I click, I usually end up on a blank page/blank space. The funny thing is, after that everything works normally again, I can switch between apps with one click. And then sporadically not. Is this a feature or a bug? I use MAC OS M1 Pro with Ventura. https://youtu.be/ikcAxCGXKpI

Mac Mini M2 Pro Vertical Flickering Lines issue Just got my mac mini last month immediately had issues with the flickering lines. Adjusted my monitor and seemed like it disappeared. Today I opened a app and on a green background section, I saw the vertical flickering lines again. Has this issue been fixed yet? I know it's been a constant issue for mac mini users.

Application menu bar is not responding on MI Mini M2 Pro Continuing this thread for M2 Mac mini - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252135751 I have the same intermittent issue, where the Menu Bar becomes unresponsive to a mouse click for Finder and all apps. Temporary fix is to log out and back in.
