Safari problem after Tahoe 26.0.1 update

Ever since I did the update, Tahoe 26.0.1, my MacBook Air 2022 M2 Chip, Safari is not functioning. Web pages won't load, if they load they are incomplete. When I restart, it works for a while and then reverts to the problem. I run an antivirus and that states there is no virus. Anyone have an idea what this is and how to correct it?

Hello everyone,


If you’re experiencing issues with Safari not loading pages after updating to macOS 26.2, try this workaround:

Disconnect all connections from your iMac or laptops, including external monitors, external hard drives, and peripherals. Wait a few seconds, then reconnect everything. I would also recommend to restart the computer after.


This happened to me after updating my iMac M1 to macOS 26.2. Safari would not load any pages and would sometimes stay completely blank. I spent hours with Apple Support going through extensive troubleshooting steps, including reinstalling the software, but nothing helped.


Eventually, I tried disconnecting all external connections and reconnecting them, and WALA Safari started working normal again. Hopefully this saves someone else a lot of time in the near future.


I hope this helps.
