MacOS 14.4.1 Update MAJOR issues - Can update be rolled back??

After my husband updated his MacBook Pro to MacOS 14.4.1, it caused issues. Keep getting an error message "Your system has run out of application memory" (even after shutting down all applications and rebooting a couple times.) Computer is basically unusable and it is what he uses to run our business.

It finally shut down on its own and gave this error on a black screen "Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press any key or wait a few seconds before starting up"

panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff80166ab89b): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from WindowServer (2 induced crashes) in 120 seconds

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.

There could be many reasons for a crash, and we cannot ascertain what this may be without further information.

Specifically, for the "your system has run out of application memory" error, there are two most common causes:

1) A memory leak in an application that causes it to request more and more memory from the OS, without releasing it, resulting in no available virtual memory

2) The system drive being too full

Usually, it's the latter, but that report may enlighten us.

I’m having the same problem right now. Did you do anything to resolve it?

I returned the iMac to the Apple store and got my money back.
