Since Mac OS Tahoes 26.4 My screen goes back and there's only one thing a beachball which I can move I can airplay music as well even pause it from Mac but nothing else is functional unless hard reboot. This happens anytime sometimes 3x a day or sometimes 2x a week it happens when Mac is on sleep and open the lid or touch a key boom it's beach balling forever.
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.5

Plug in an external monitor and compare your results there...this may be your work-a-round.

that is among the cleanest EtreCheck reports I have seen here. and there are none of the "usual suspects" as far as troublesome software goes.
the only thing I would suggest would be to Start up your Mac in safe mode. and once in safe mode, run the Mac that way for 10 or 15 minutes. then reboot normally. sometimes a safe boot followed by a normal boot can clear up some issues.
Here's an update turning back to default display resolution helped with Excessive heat and windows server all time 30-50% high usage. I'm pretty sure this will solve that Deadlock of windows server as well.
I erased my disk in recovery and downloaded stable release again that's why report is clean, I've also tried Golden gate in past this same bug persist since 3 months and there's 0 hardware issues as per recovery mode tests, I'll follow what you said cause that's the only thing out of 100 I haven't yet tried.
That Clean my Keyboard crashed on first opening in-front of me but yeah it could be suspect, While those VPN's? in first few months I thought they are suspect but even not having them doesn't helped and bug kept appearing so I installed Wire-guard (My Own VPS Config) Cloudflare isn't active means deleted since a week.
