My Mac Finder isn't responding. It just sits and spins and nothing comes up that I'm searching for. How can I stop this? It continues to happen over and over. YES I've stopped my computer and restarted it more times than I can count. It works 1-2 t

How can I stop this? It continues to happen over and over. YES I've stopped my computer and restarted it more times than I can count. It works 1-2 times and then goes back to status quo.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5
