I have an 7 year old MacBook Pro that I have never had a single problem with but after the last IOS update, my Pages keeps shutting down after 20 seconds. I deleted it and reinstalled the app but it is still shutting down after a few seconds. Is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix? Thank you for any help you can give me!

What specific version of macOS are you currently running and shown from the menu > About This Mac. Navigate to your /Applications folder in the Finder, locate Pages, select it, and press option+command+i. What version is it?
Sometimes, holding the shift key while launching Pages prevents it from using its last application state, allowing it to launch normally. Other times, just rebooting your Mac can fix some issues.
