Lag when switch between apps in MacOS 12.5.1

I'm currently using the Macbook Pro 14 running on the MacOS 12.5.1. It is noticeable that when switching from Finder to another app or from an app to Finder, it is a bit laggy like this linked video. But while switching between non-Finder apps, it still works normally. Does anyone find this problem?

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


6 -  If still having issues, follow advise from previous Poster and use the Application Etrecheck
