Messages crashing in startup on iMac

Any suggestions on how to stop Messages from immediately crashing during its opening?

Messages frozen upon startup When I boot up my iMac, Messages starts but is frozen and has no response unless I shut Messages down and restart. Then it operates properly. I noticed this upon a Mac software update - not the current 12.2.1 rather the previous version. Is this an issue anyone else experiences and does Apple know about it so it can be fixed? Thanks all.

Messages Blank when opening on iMac When I open Messages, it's all blank, no names or conversations. If I send someone a message it opens the last message to or from them and I can see the latest conversation, but if I start another new message then the previous message goes blank also. Here is what I see on the screen. I have tried as many setting changes as I can find.
