Even if the Disk Doctor was from the Apple Apps Store - Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.
If FileVault enabled on this computer ? Have you tried to start the Computer in Safe Mode >> Start up a Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu

Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation. The Built-in Security of Big Sur is all that is required.
