EtreCheckPro version: 6.8.6 (68057) Report generated: 2024-10-20 10:05:05 Download EtreCheckPro from https://etrecheck.com Runtime: 1:56 Performance: Excellent Problem: Other problem Description: random frame drops / lag on macOS seqouia I recently bought a M3 MacBook Pro with 11 days left on the Apple care package. It originally came with the latest version of Sonoma, and re cently, after seeing one feature of Sequoia that I particularly liked, I updated it to 15.0.1. However, I have been experiencing frame-drop issues on my device with every application. Every few seconds or so, m y entire screen freezes, which is very evident when typing or watching a video. I don't know if recording a video will work because I'm not sure if it's the display or the computer itself, however the issue has persisted through several different monitors. The issue does not seem to affect audio, and while I do recall several instances when my audi o did seem to freeze it might be placebo effect, as when listening to music it works fine. Restarting does not work, and I am considering ro lling back to Sonoma. Major Issues: Anything that appears on this list needs immediate attention.
