Some default apps and preference panes not responding 2019 MBP - Ventura 13.0.1 Some apps have begun to freeze up while running and then will not reopen. Music, Messages, Mail. App store will also sit on "loading" spinning indefinitely. Calendar also froze today but a force quit allowed it to restart. Also some preference pane tabs (users & groups, privacy & security, wallet & apple pay) will not load and then turn up "not responding" in the Force Quit menu. Restarting the computer allows the apps to reload but does not allow the preference panes to work. Apps begin to freeze again in less than 24hrs. Safe mode allowed the privacy and security pane to load. When force quitting any of these the report Event is listed as "hang" I have AVG antivirus (basic) and Malwarebytes installed and they find no problems. I installed Malwarebytes after the problem started to show up because I was suspicious of malware. Nothing new was installed recently before the problem started to show up. I'm not sure what to try next.

Background apps exiting OS X 12.5.1 (21G83) Usually the memory apps like Excel and iMovie: in the background, after awhile, they exit, and need restarted (and in the case of Excel, forget state). This is a recent change. I have plenty of memory (32GB) and don't even get close to running out (I watch the Activity Monitor). Is there some setting to stop this behavior?
