Many of the legit applications like Safari, Google Chrome & Slack hang when accessing the file system on Macbook Pro M1 running Ventura 13.3.1. User cannot upload any files or download files (e.g. from Slack) on the file system. Is there a workaround for this?
Hello karthikmadhava,
We'd be happy to help. There are some basic troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue. To get started, we recommend trying to restart your Mac. Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try booting into safe mode. Starting up your Mac in safe mode can help you identify whether the issues you’re experiencing are caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up. Follow the steps here: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode, restart your Mac as you normally would and check for the issue again. If the issue continues, a login item may be the issue: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/remove-login-items-resolve-startup-problems-mh21210/mac
These steps may help:
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu> System Settings, click General
in the sidebar, then click Login Items on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Make a list of the login items in the Open at Login list—you’ll need to remember them later.
3. Select all of the login items, then click the Remove button.
4. Choose Apple menu
5. If this solves the problem, open Login Items settings again, add the login items one at a time, and restart your Mac after adding each one.
6. When the problem occurs again, follow the steps above to remove only the last login item you added.
Thanks.
