You do not say if this is a M1 Mac or an Intel Mac (?)


You have only so many options...


M1 —Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 and test, reboot and test.


Intel—Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295


—Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
