Finder not responding during shut down

After updating my MBP (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) to macOS Monterey, version 12.0.1 (21A559) I encounter finder not responding every time I shut down the MBP. It just freeze with wallpaper and the cursor. All icons on the desktop disappear. I fix the problem by force quitting the Finder but it's not convenient all the time.


Appreciate any help and guidance.


Thanks

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
