Again!
- I did a clean install
- I didn’t install any third-party applications.
- I didn’t even sign in with my Apple ID
- I didn’t change any settings!
Yet, the "com.apple.hiservices-xpcservice" process continues to be unresponsive. "CursorUIViewService" hasn’t become unresponsive yet, but the RAM usage keeps increasing. I assume this will also become unresponsive eventually.
Please, if you don’t have a suggestion to contribute on this matter, don’t confuse the users experiencing the same issue here.
Here are the main possible reasons why the com.apple.hiservices-xpcservice process becomes unresponsive, based on the spindump analysis:
The spindump data shows that the com.apple.hiservices-xpcservice process is stuck waiting for the WindowServer. This service is responsible for managing graphical operations on macOS. Messages like turnstile waiting for WindowServer indicate that the process is blocked from accessing critical resources, leading to a system deadlock.
Threads within the process are halted, waiting for mach_msg_overwrite and mach_msg2_trap system calls. These indicate that the process is attempting to communicate with other system services, but it remains stuck due to unresponsive system-level communications.
The analysis suggests that the issue began after waking from sleep mode, as indicated by the system being unresponsive for a prolonged time (~800 seconds). This points to a failure in re-establishing communication with services like WindowServer upon waking.
There are no clear indications of hardware failures in the spindump, but the process seems to have been stalled while trying to access shared resources, hinting at a possible software conflict or misconfiguration.
Once, you mentioned something like, ‘Turn off all the unnecessary settings in Accessibility.’ You suggested this would prevent the process from becoming unresponsive. Below, I’m sharing with you what HIServices does, according to Apple’s official page, for your information. Additionally, by saying this, you’re essentially claiming that Apple’s own system features are causing a problem, which contradicts your own point.
HIServices.framework
Contains interfaces for accessibility, Internet Config, the pasteboard, the Process Manager, and the Translation Manager. Available in OS X v10.2 and later.
