Major slow down & overheating issues after upgrade Mac OS to Tahoe? Anyone having this issue.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0
Running macOS 26 Tahoe on >> user byline >> " MacBook Air 13″, macOS 26.0 "
Therefore the computer would have to be a M1, M2, M3 or M4 Apple laptop
To say slow down is far too general of a statement and does not supply any context
To drill down on this issue of slow down and overheating
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.

I’m experiencing the same issue. The upper-left part of the casing gets very hot, and the heat spreads across the keyboard. Sometimes I even have to wait for the system to respond while the spinning indicator shows up.
I have had some lagging issues, but I believe that is generally from the age of my Mac. Nothing serious.
