Since installing macOS Monterey 12.3.1 many of my applications won't work.

Your expectation is misguided. As I wrote earlier, Apple has no ability to maintain code developed by others. If you choose to modify your Mac by installing non-Apple products, that is your choice to make. I recommend that you uninstall those products, individually or all at once, and determine if your Mac operates properly.

• If it does, then you identified the cause of your problems.
• If it does not, then contact Apple and arrange to have your Mac fixed. To begin, click Get Support.

Can you please screenshot? What do you mean by "Doesn't work"? Do you mean that you can't open the app?

My suggestions is to restart your computer and hold down the SHIFT key to enter Safe Boot. Safe Boot eliminates the extra background activities that is straining your Mac, allowing troubleshooting easier.

If you can provide a detailed screenshot I'd be more than glad to help you further in-depth.

Sincerely,

William

What spec is your MacBook?

I recently upgraded to a 16" MacBook pro with the M1 Pro chip from a 2015 15" which I had already updated to Monterey long before with no issues. I am on version 12.3.1. The only thing I had to do on the new one was to install Rosetta and then all my apps worked again. I can't exactly remember which ones weren't working, I think mostly Adobe Creative Cloud.

I am using VS Code and Chrome with no issues at all though on both old and new MacBooks.

One thing to check is that your settings are all the same as you had them before the update.

Good luck!

Hey there!

This is just a hunch. But can you open Disk Utility in Finder > Applications > Utilities and take a screen shot?

Likewise, can you also take a screen shots of the problem applications in:

Apple > About This Mac > Applications? (Especially if there are two different versions of the same app).

Cheers.

Apple has no ability to maintain code developed by others. Contact their respective developers: Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support

Run EtreCheck and post back here with your report so we don't have to guess what might be causing this.

As per your earlier image regarding Chrome not work - have seen several users running the Computer without SIP Enable and Chrome will not work at all.

For what it is worth, MS Teams runs fine on Monterey 12.3.1 on both an Intel iMac and an Apple Silicon MBP for me. Could be something else is messed up in your system.

Is the User running the computer with System Integrity Protection ( SIP ) Disabled ?

I meant About This Mac > System Report > Applications, thanks.

Welcome.

Glad we could identify the user was running the computer without SIP Enabled.
