Ever since upgrading to Mac OS 15.4 my Messages App is closing on it's own like it's QuickTime or Preview. Anyone else having this issue?

Mac Studio (2023)
After a few days on 15.4.1 there has been no changes, messages, maps an "X" app are still closing randomly.
🤬🤬🤬

Yep, I just came back in here and the messages app, "X" and maps are all closed gain. I'm almost ready to install a beta at this point!
Also running 2 displays and I'm constantly moving windows from display 1 back to display 2 every time the displays go to sleep.
Same.
Same here now with Notes, Reminders, Safari quitting along with messages. No message after like the apps crashed, just seems to quit on its own. Frustrating.
Same issue with messages closing when I switch to another app. Running a MacBook Air Apple M1, 8GB, 256GB, OS v 15.4.
On multiple occasions now, first with Calendar and now with System Prefs, I have quit the app and the window stays open. So now we have apps closing by themselves and ones that don't want to go away. WE NEED an update for this like yesterday!!!
Ok, I updated to 15.4.1 last night. I've had messages open for 8 hours straight while working. It has not shutdown. I am cautiously optimistic but will keep observing. Will see after the Mac goes to sleep tonight if it will still be open the next day. Will report back.
I signed out of my iCloud account in the Messages settings, rebooted, then signed back in. That seemed to mitigate the problem for a while, but now (2-3 days later, maybe?) it's happening regularly again.
I've been complaining about this for a while, no response from Apple. For me it's Messages and News, and on two relatively new computers with plenty of space. I even did a Sequoia reinstall on both computers, which made a difference for about a day, then both programs went back to quitting. There is clearly a fundamental problem in the OS that Apple seems to be ignoring. Hey - maybe they can get Apple Intelligence to work on it! Oh, that's right...
Fingers crossed this takes care of the problems!!
Has gotten worse now, "X" app and maps app are closing by themselves now too. I can't imagine there is a new setting since it's only a few apps doing this.
A few hours in and all apps remain open so far!!
Just got back in and 2 of the 3 apps are closed in which one is MESSAGES!! 🤬
So now we are back to waiting on 15.5
Yeah did some conference calls and checked on messages and problem persists.
Only messages on my Mac keeps quitting and seems to happen more often now since 15.4.1. It also seems to happen when I access Messages on my iPhone. Weird.
Messages app keeps closing after macOS 15.4 update
