M1 MacBook Pro Freezing

Hi,

My M1 MacBook Pro freezes when moving files from one location to another. When I move a file from my Desktop to a folder in my Documents, finder freezes and loads but the file won't actually move. After a few tries the folder/file will move but that is with the freezing that comes with it.


I have deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and restarted my mac but I still get the same issue.


Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Great - MalwareBytes is harmless and written by long time Contributor to these Forums. Other AV are an invitation to disaster.


As for Finder freezing - if not Returning under 14 Day Return Policy - Perhaps Rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac
