Separately, there was an update for the Beta version of Big Sur and after the hours that stuff takes to load, the problem went away. It works well. SO, I have no idea what happened, nor how did it got fixed. But! I appreciate your itetion of assisting and supporting. Thank you so much!
I understand the Messages app is crashing. If you are using a prerelease version of macOS, then crashes are to be expected. I surmise there is an appropriate place to report an application crash.

Thank you so much John! Appreciated!
Keep safe!
