Mac Mini M1 2020 not responding

#Help


My Mac Mini M1 is not working properly, while on Chrome minimize, close etc buttons are toggling while moving my mouse there. Also, drag and drop is also lagging hard (hang).



What could be the problem? Any idea?

Have you restarted you Mac lately?


If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in Safe mode. It can take much longer to safe boot so be patient.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 


Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to do disk repair, clear caches and other housekeeping and disables acceleration and third-party mods. When you're in safe boot, the machine won’t be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.


Does the same thing happen while in Safe mode?


Exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally and evaluate the issue again.


Is it only the Chrome app that is misbehaving?

If so, try deleting the app and reinstalling a fresh copy.
