Does the same issue present when booting into Safe Mode

Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.

Any of the above outlined above may be a contributing factor.

Strongly suggest doing A Time Machine Backup  is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS. before doing anything.

Then - Restart in Recovery Mode and choose to Reinstall macOS. This will bring down the full installer and commence to install.

This method should not touch and personal files, preferences or Applications.

What it does do is replace any missing or Corrupted Elements of the System and thereby put thing right.

Hi, I tried the SAFE mode, but I get exactly the same issue as before. Attached a screen shot when starting up NOTES in safe mode.

Hi, thanks a lot for taking the time to help out. Really appreciated.

Unfortunately the PRAM solution did not work. tried twice. Also the SMC does not work as I still have a T1 security chip.

thanks a lot though

There is a possible solution but before exploring that.

Has there ever been any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, etc installed. Any of these could have damaged the previous version of macOS before the upGrade to Monterey and now the issue has come to light.

Unsigned files - There are unsigned software files installed that could be adware and should be reviewed.

Configuration profiles found - This computer may have configuration profiles installed. These are sometimes used by adware and malware.

Old Applications:

28 x86-only apps

Kernel Extensions:

/Library/Extensions

[Not Loaded] RicohUSBMerge.kext - com.ricoh.print.usbmerge (2.8)

[Running] com.jamfsoftware.jamf.agent.plist (JAMF Software - installed 2021-10-26) is this because the computer is a Work Owned Computer

You are amazing - thanks a lot

unsigned files - these all appear to be part of an MDM managed list of WiFi locations

configuration profiles - these are the rules inside MAIL app

old apps - 28 x86-only apps - I am not running M1 so this should not be an issue, right?

kernel extension - this is my printer - it's a very old driver and I rarely use it.

So I'm still not sure what to do. I could remove Evernote incl its web clipper, Discord, Ricoh printer driver. But why would any of this impact NOTES?

any ideas really appreciated.

thanks a lot

Did this worked for anyone?

I have an M1 Mac mini 16gb 512 SSD, the computer freezes continuously when building with Xcode, I've already reported a bug with info needed(FB9737213), is the NVRAM and SMC trick working for m1 machines?

" unsigned files - these all appear to be part of an MDM managed list of WiFi locations "

Then, since the issue is from a Mobile Digital Management Service - they control what this computer can have installed and not installed as the Computer is basically Owned by them.

Would suggest contacting the IT Department of the Company and have them sort the issue

Thanks for much for helping - I hope this is the report you were looking for - 1000000 thanks

NVRAM and SMC trick working for m1 machines? - there is no SMC on the Apple Silicon M Chips.
