Macbook air M1 Lag

Hi Jeffreywsh,

Thanks for attaching the EtreCheck report. Please start a new discussion for your issue, as it may not be the same as OP's issue. Lag can be caused by various factors.

For now, I'd suggest doing the following:

• Turn on Gatekeeper: Open System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> General -> Allow apps downloaded from App Store and identified developers
• Check Activity Monitor for symptoms (note the runaway process in the report), and troubleshoot in Safe Mode.

Hi Skändä,

Please download and run EtreCheck from the Mac App Store, then paste the text report here.

EtreCheck is a free, safe application that checks your Mac for problems causing lag and other issues. The developer, Etresoft, is well-known here and has an excellent reputation.

I am having the same issue, loading ball keeps showing. Here's my report, looking for some help.
