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.

Hi there ninh48,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. The steps in this article can help you with this trouble you're having with the apps on your Mac:

ninh48,

Are you downloading these apps from the Mac App Store? Check out how to do so here: Download apps from the App Store on your Mac - Apple Support.

You mentioned that your Mac is running macOS Monterey, do you have the latest version installed? You can confirm there are no updates available by going to the Apple menu ( ) > System Preferences > Software Updates.

Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support

Take Care!

ninh48,

It appears that all of these apps were downloaded directly from the developers of the software. Your best bet would be the steps in this article: If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open which we recommended earlier. Particularly steps 3 and 4, to update the app and/or delete and reinstall the app from the developers site.

If you continue to have issues with the apps, you might try reaching out to the developer for more assistance.

Best regards.

I have been having the same issue too, browsers other than safari refuse to open, deleting them and reinstalling them doesn't seem to do anything, apps like discord do not even open and crash immediately, restarting the Mac, force quitting the app and reopening nothing seems to work at the moment. So I would like to see if there is a solution or fix to this , and hope it gets resolved soon.
