The 'Dock' app is the problem cause. There are 3 ways to make it work again temporarily. Just try one of below 3 ways;


  • Open 'Terminal' and type in "killall Dock" and press enter. The 'Dock' app will be running correctly again right away.


  • Open 'Activity Monitor' and stop the 'Dock' app. The 'Dock' app will be running correctly again right away.


  • Restart your Mac.



Hope Apple can fix this problem ASAP.

Just updated to Monterey 12.5 yesterday. This issue happened to me today, and a couple of times last week. So Apple definitely hasn't fixed the issue. I do believe they are aware of it but it doesn't seem like they have done anything to fix it. It seems the most they will do is patch minor bugs and major security issues after a new OS version is pushed out. All we can hope for is that the issue is fixed when the next major OS version is released.
