random system settings apps like Keyboard, Display,etc turn to (not responding) if you switch to another iMessage app or news, email,etc.

Ventura 13.2.1 Mac-Mini M2 Pro: random system settings apps like Keyboard, Display,etc turn to (not responding) if you switch to another iMessage app or news, email,etc.


To replicate: Launch system settings and Force Quit . Switch to System settings.. Select Keyboard, Click on Keyboard Shortcuts. Now select some other app like safari or iMessage or Mail.. Keep and eye on Force quit applications window.

You should see the not responding for Keyboard show up.. If you dont then select Displays, then advanced. select Done.

Watch Force quit Applications window.. It should now show up. Very consistent for me.


Simple fix without having to force quit not responding app is to Simple go back to System Setting then select Keyboard .. You will notice (not responding) issue goes away. See below image to see hung processes.


Super easy to replicate.. Anyone else know about this? Is their a bug filed for this issue?

Hi there garyfromlos gatos,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. Based on what you've described as occurring with unresponsive apps, we would recommend taking the following steps. They will help us isolate the issue and begin troubleshooting the cause:


  1. See if the issue continues in safe mode. Safe mode will do two things for us: First, during boot, it will run a scan of your startup disk and make repairs where it can. Second, once booted, it will disable certain processes and software that might cause a conflict with the overall Mac performance. You can get instructions on how to boot to safe mode, how it can help, and what to do with your findings here: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
  2. See if the issue continues in a new user account. This will tell us if there is something specific to your user account that is causing a conflict, such as specific apps, settings, or software processes: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support


If the issue continues, don't hesitate to respond back.


Cheers!
