The next step we recommend would be to test the issue while your Mac is in safe mode. The following articles have the steps you will need to test the issue in safe mode:
How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
"Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed."
