My year-old MacBook Air M2, once a sleek and swift device, has become unbearably sluggish since updating to macOS Sonoma. Tasks that used to be effortless now feel like a test of patience. Despite its powerful hardware, the software seems to be constraining its potential. This sudden slowdown has disrupted my workflow and left me questioning the wisdom of this update. I hope for future fixes to restore my MacBook to its former efficiency.
Same M2 MBA and it seems to be just as quick and speedy as when it was running macOS 13.6 Ventura
To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario
Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test
Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again
Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
