    Hi,

     

    Is this about using Split view or Messages freezing ?

     

    If it is just about the Messages App check the Contacts App > Preferences > Accounts

    Only one account should be in use - it seems El Capitan turns on every option you might have in System Preferences > Internet Accounts so you could have Yahoo, Google, iCloud to name some all trying to sync.

     

    It effectively creates an endless loop of checking.
