"Save as" function not working on MacBook PRO after mcOS Monterey

Good evening,


Since a week orzo my "Save as" function is not working anymore on my MacBook PRO after mcOS Monetrey. This function doesn't not work in: office, pdf, above photoshop, R, and some more programs. I already tried reinstalling the system, but it didn't work.


Does any of you know what might have happened? Can you help me please?


Thank you in advance.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.0

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
