Mac hanging/freezing/visually unresponsive/window server quit unexpectedly

My laptop hangs. I can move the cursor but I can’t click on anything o r type anything. Sometimes I can get command-option-escape to work but I can’t click or select anything. I can however use command-a to highlight all apps and click enter twice to force quit all apps. Even after everything is still frozen. Its a bit difficult for me to describe the issue but its as if everything continues to work fine however nothing responds at least not visually, as if the image is frozen but all apps are responding normally (also note that the apps are not crashing). If I click the power button real quick I can lock the screen and unlock it but its remains frozen. The only solution is to hold the power button down and reboot my Mac. This has happened to me around 6 times (5 of those before I reformatted my Mac and clean installed Mac OS Monterey 12.4) and 1 time yesterday on the reformatted and reinstal led MacOS. So far I can’t pinpoint it to anything specific, I can’t even tell what might be causing the issue. I do recall getting a crash report: window server quit unexpectedly a few times after rebooting ( I kept a copy of 2 of the reports). Can anyone please help with this as its really inconvenient and annoying. Thank you for taking the time to read this.


Below I attached an Entrecheck Report.

Hi muhannadfromgraz,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities!


When you reinstalled macOS, did you install any third party apps after? Have you tried to see if this occurs without installing any additional apps? If this is happening because of specific software, remove that software and test again. Additional steps can be found here for a slow Mac: If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support an app not working as expected could cause issues:


"Quit any app that isn’t compatible with your Mac. For example, an app may require a different processor or graphics card. See the documentation that came with the app for information about its system requirements."


You can also just check and run diagnostics: Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support


Additionally, check Activity Monitor: View information about Mac processes in Activity Monitor - Apple Support We may be able to identify something that might be using more activity than usual.


Have a good one!
