Sonoma crashes on Macbook Pro M1 Max

I am using a 16-inch Macbook Pro with Apple M1 Max. Before updating to Sonoma, everything works perfectly with my laptop. 

After installing Sonoma 14.0, the system crashes all the time.

  1. Keynote and Pages got frozen every time when I tried to edit anything.
  2. I can not print papers with preview.
  3. Finder crashes more than ten times per day.
  4. I can not delete anything using Finder. It takes forever.
  5. I deleted all the anti-virus software and the VPN apps, but it did not help. 
  6. I re-install Sonoma three times, and it did not help (either re-install the system using the safe mode or re-install it using the App Store).
  7. I created another user's account, and Keynote and Pages seem to work smoothly in another account. So there should be no problem with the hardware. 


Could anyone help with this issue?

Having removed the AV Software and VPNs software was good idea


But Reinstalling Sonoma over itself via the two methods mentioned above will not make sure all the bit and pieces of the two applications have been Totally Removed


Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.
