MacBook Pro acting wonky after OS 13 install

The machine is running hot (temperature-wise), and I'm having to shut down after 45-90 minutes (no gaming), using basic internet and word processing software.

Pre-set screen savers and background photo settings did not transfer, and will not stay after being reset.

Pictures and MS Word documents previously deleted have somehow reappeared; even after using both CCleaner for Mac, and Clean My Mac X programs.

Some programs not booting up, or shutting down consistently.

No new programs have been added since two weeks prior to Ventura install; less existing apps/program updates.

neither of those programs should be installed on your modern Mac, and they could be the source of your issues.

Remember that after a migration or major upgrade, your Mac may spend several hours to all afternoon re-computing the Spotlight index (of every word in every file on your Mac) and responsiveness may be slightly slower until completed.
