iCloud not syncing on my iMac

Hello. I am using a 2017 iMac with the latest macOS. Since upgrading to iCloud+, iCloud is not properly syncing on my iMac. The syncing is OK on my iPhone and iPad. I have particular issues with Notes, Calendars, and Reminders. I have followed all the basic steps suggested by Apple Support to no avail.

iMac Notes not syncing to iCloud I'm having problems syncing changes made in my Notes on my iMac to iCloud. I have an iMac M3 / 16GB / Tahoe 26.3. I have my Notes app open en in Safari I have my iCloud Notes opened. When I change something on the iMac it does not Sync to iCloud in Safari. Within Notes on the Mac I see a spinning wheel next to iCloud (see attached picture)When I make an adjustment in Notes in iCloud in Safari it does sync to my iMac. When I make a new Note on my iPhone, it does sync to iCloud and then to the iMac. I tried switching off / on iCloud syncing multiple times. The only result is that I lose the changes made in Notes on the iMac because they have not been synced to iCloud yet. I have been in contact with Apple the other day (Case ID: 102827206008) and they advised me to remove an inactive vpn service from my iMac. I did so and after a restart syncing worked fine. But now I am experiencing the same issue again. Any advice on how to solve this. TIA

Start with this...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
