Hello LKDietrich,
Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. To troubleshoot this behavior with your Mac, we recommend to restart your Mac in safe mode. This is a step that verifies your startup disk, delete some system caches and more. Once the Mac is in safe mode, please restart it as normal and test to see if that helps. If needed, here's how to restart your Mac in safe mode:
Start up your Mac with Apple silicon in safe mode
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu
> Shut Down.
2. Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
3. Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
4. Select a volume.
5. Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
6. The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode
1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
2. Log in to your Mac.
3. You might be asked to log in again.
4. On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
These steps are outlined in this article if you need to reference them: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
Kind regards.
