Hi Jess,


Next step after a restart is a restart into Safe Mode.


Apple menu > Restart

As soon as you hear the startup chime, press and hold the shift key.

When you see the Apple Logo and a progress bar beneath it, release the shift key and wait for the safe mode startup to complete.


This will take longer than a 'normal' startup, as macOS runs a few more diagnostic/cleanup routines than during a regular restart. You will also notice a degradation in video performance during Safe mode.


When the startup has completed, launch Pages. Any change in behaviour?


If so, quit Pages, shut down, and do a 'normal' startup.


Regards,

Barry
