Not that I have never had to do a forced reboot on a Mac before, but I notice that Google AI mode query seems to confirm that “it has been reported” that Tahoe might be causing total freezes due to a Spotlight glitch with background processes, or such, Is this a real thing?
I am not that savvy in diagnosis but Console reveals absolutely zero Crash logs, … ever on this system updated fairly recently. And hardly any relevant log with much of enlightening details or reference to a problem. I doubt that I would be able to decipher a sudo diagnose either/anyway. … Just seems weird that there is no Crash log ever … usually there is something… but maybe that’s a good thing that there haven’t been any background crashes … til lately
AI suggests a wholesale, of sorts, trashing of library caches while in Safe Mode …
Might this be the sort of thing that the app Cocktail would be useful for? … I have sort of stopped dabbling in all the third party system maintenance apps that used to be popular ten years ago
Thanks for your thoughts
