M1 super slow and other app issues

I hate my MacBook M1 so so much, it's slower than the one I had before which was 2010! it keeps uninstalling ALL of the apps everytime it shuts it down or the battery runs out and I don't have that many, its literally google chrome or Mozilla, I've had to try both because it happens with both, any advice on this matter? it's getting really frustrating, I cant just open my computer and start using it, even opening iCloud preferences the computer crashes.

its really disappointing as this is already my 2nd one of these, as my 1st of died after 2 days

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.3

Startup in Safe mode. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201262 Choose the appropriate method.

To leave Safe Mode, choose “Restart” at the bottom.

Quote:

Safe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software when it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS,

and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility.

And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache,

which will be created again automatically as needed.
