Using the touchbar or capslock stalls/freezes my macbook pro
After the previous automatic update, I have a weird issue where if I press the caps lock key, or if I use the touch bar (to turn up volume or brightness for example), the laptop freezes for about 6 seconds. I can move the cursor around, but the computer is otherwise unresponsive.
If I turn up the volume during a zoom call for example, the people in the zoom meeting will appear frozen, and they will say that I am frozen as well, though they can still hear me.
I restarted my computer several times but no luck. Is this happening to anyone else? How do I fix it?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.5
