Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

This includes AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes, UnInstaller etc.

The The Built in Security  is all that is required.

Trust this method from Apple was used to Reinstall the OS especially on the M1 CPU Apple Silicon ?

From this information on Wireshark it is missing any information I can see regarding Compatibility with Monterey

AppCleaner - this application, if downloaded from some Third Party Untrusted Site could be a source of unknown Malware or Adware. For that specific purpose, see end of reply

Still on AppCleaner - Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

This includes AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes, UnInstaller etc.

There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX  Foundation and Permission Limitation. 

The The Built in Security  is all that is required to protect the computer.

Should “ Certain & Specific Software “ referenced from above be installed - it will negatively impact macOS. It is suggested, to download directly from a respected ASC Contributor, the application Malwarebytes for Mac. 

It is free or paid for added features.

Run the Application and it should remove the malware / adware. Once done, restart computer and test.

I'm having the exact same issue on my Mac mini (M1) too. I pretty much did all the things, disable Bluetooth, uninstall apps that could possibly cause the problem, even reinstall macOS Monterey, and none of those fixed the issue.

Then I started to dig into the kernel panic log again, it always happens on a file-system-related kernel extension.

And I remember to enable the FileVault back when I first bought the device, so I went and turn it off, surprisingly the kernel panic no longer happen. It wasn't an issue before on Big Sur.

The AppCleaner may be in Download Folder but, as per the report, it is Installed on the computer too !

The AppCleaner may have been used to uninstall an Application but also touched elements of the OS and thereby caused issue with Bluetooth drivers

WebShark is a packet analyzer and unless it is specifically compatible with with Monterey - it too could be a cause of issue

Based on my test case, AppCleaner doesn't cause the issue for sure, I tested with installed/uninstalled, and the problem still exists. I even tested on a clean macOS install without any third-party apps installed

I actually know this workaround a few days ago. I even contacted Apple support, they basically ask me to reinstall the macOS as it might be a glitch during updating to Monterey. Plus I really don't want to turn off FileVault, so I give it a try and had no luck in the end.

This has just started occurring recently on my M1 2020 MacBook Air with Mac OS Monterey. it mainly happens when using safari, and chrome and switching websites. However I have a feeling it is related to FileVault as well.

Apple please look into all the diagnostics I have submitted to you, it would be nice to get this fixed ASAP.

Thanks, Dustin

So recently I have updated my Mac Mini M1 to MacOS 12.1 RC2, and I turned on the FileVault for a couple of days now, it seems like the issue is gone now🤞 I will continue to monitor the issue, hope that the issue is really fixed.
