Quirks after updating Ventura 13.3.1

Hello norsebabe,

This page can help provide assistance for issues with apps unexpectedly quitting: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly on Mac - Apple Support

• If an app doesn’t quit as expected, or it’s unresponsive, you can force quit the app (you may lose unsaved changes). Choose Apple menu  > Force Quit, select the app in the dialog that appears, then click Force Quit.

• If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.

• Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.

• Make sure the app is compatible with your version of macOS.

• Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.

• Check for updates to your software.

• Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.

• Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other

• If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.

• Diagnose problems on Mac to learn whether hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.

For issues with emails not sending, the tips and suggestions here may get that sorted out: If you can’t send emails in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

If issues still persist, you may try temporarily testing things within a newly created Admin account and see if any of the problems persist there. That will help to see if the issue is specific to the current Admin account or if it's system-wide: Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

Cheers.
