System preference / AppleID is glitching

On the new MacOS, when I open system preferences and go to the AppleID tab, it almost freezes. Any interaction (scroll, click) works after ~5 seconds or doesn't work at all. It gets all right the moment I switch to another tab of the preferences. https://youtu.be/J4iUIyfAQ_8

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


7 - Still issues, report back for additional suggestions
