I can still move the cursor, but there’s a significant lag, and everything becomes unresponsive. It even crashed once. I’ve noticed the spinning wheel shows up during different actions—for example, when I start dragging files around the screen or when I try t o copy an image. if i restart or wait couple of minutes goes back to normal al.. but is not ok Major Issues: None Minor Issues: These issues do not need immediate attention but they may indicate future problems or opportunities for improvement.
