I have been having problems associated with Updating my Mac Mini to sonoma,

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...

EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.

Thanks for Old Toad’s etrecheck instructions…

Did you check prior to updating that all your apps and device drivers were compatible with Sonoma?

If not, check all your app vendors for possible updates or upgrades to make them compatible with Sonoma.
