Which one to you want to Fix First ?


Are the same Applications installed on the Ventura Computer are also installed on the Monterey Computer ?


Please, One Computer at a time


To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario


Suggest the User starts with the Top Suggestion and test. 


Thereafter,  move down to the next and test again. 


Keep on going in the Order that they have been presented or until you reach the Final Suggestion 


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.


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 


Does the issue present in this mode ?


Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


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.


If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
