I'm using Version 12.4 MacOS Monterey on MacBook Air (M1, 2020), and sometimes the cursor lags until I restart my laptop. It starts to behave like this randomly, even if I don't have any heavy applications or tasks running. The only solution I know for this issue is restarting, which is inconvenient as it takes time.
If any other user experiences the same issue and knows a quick solution for it, I would appreciate a helping hand. I appreciate any help you can provide.
To trouble shoot further you can:
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
—SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
