Siri not responding MacBook Air M1 Monterey

After I updated my Mac to the new macOS Monterey Siri just stops working suddenly. It's not gonna hear to hey Siri and even manually clicking on it doesn't work. It starts working after a restart but shows the same issues again after some time.


Also, I have noticed that whenever Siri stops working the shortcut button for Siri stops working, and also the escape key stops working.


Is this a software update bug?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2
