Ventura GUI issues

Hello Matthew Peterson,

We'd like to provide you with a few steps that may be able to assist you with the issues that you're having with macOS Ventura:

1. Start up your Mac in safe mode. Completing this step can help you identify whether issues you’re experiencing are caused by software that loads as your Mac starts up. Your screen may flash and load slower. This is expected behavior for this mode: 

Use safe mode on your Mac

2. Verify if the issue occurs in a new user account. This will allow you to determine if the behavior is specific to your account or if it is a system wide issue: Add a user or group on Mac

3.  Reinstall MacOS. Reinstalling macOS doesn't remove your personal data and can help resolve software relates issues

If the issues persists, we suggest reaching out to Apple Support directly. They will be able to assist you further. You can follow this link to connect with them: Get Support

Thanks for connecting with Apple Support Communities.

Did you try booting up into Safe Mode? That will repair directories and clear out cache and swap files of the system and apps. See it that will help.

Also try opening Safari with the Shift key held down to clear its cache files.

Hello Matthew Peterson,

It appears you have a different issue happening than what was provided in your original post.

If you've ensured that you've properly used these steps to set up widgets on your Mac: Use Notification Center on Mac Then we would use the above steps to test it out in another user on the Mac to isolate the issue further.

Contact Apple Support about to discuss this further, they will take it from here: Get Support. They'll have the tools needed to investigate this issue further that we do not have access to while working in this venue.

Take care.
