HenzonePH,


Thanks for that additional information.


Next, check to make sure you have enough storage space available on your Mac: How to free up storage space on your Mac


Also, start in safe mode, and see if the issue persists there: How to use safe mode on your Mac


Finally, if the issue persists, reset the SMC and check again: How to reset the SMC of your Mac


Thanks!

HenzonePH,


Thanks for sharing those details.


Next, check for any congestion on your Wi-Fi network, and check if the issue persists with another network connection.


The steps here may also help with performance on your Mac: About pop-up ads and windows in Safari


Finally, confirm the date and time are set correctly: Set the date and time on your Mac


Regards.
