I have a Mac Studio with the M2 Ultra chips, 192GTBk with an Apple Pro Display XDR as main display and an LG ULTRAFINE Display (2025 6K) as secondary display. I have upgraded to Tahoe 26.1. Since upgrading the Mac is slow to wake after sleep. I have enabled sleep to activate after 5 minutes of non-activity and wake on keyboard tap or mouse click. Whenever I go to wake the Mac from sleep there is a visible delay of several seconds between the mouse pointer showing and the complete screen display. This has only occurred after upgrading to Tahoe 26.1. Any feedback would be most welcome. Please note that my technical ability is rather limited and I am not comfortable trying to make changes using Terminal or similar levels of technical programming.

The current stable release of Tahoe including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 26.2 - I would start there

If you do not use sleep and just have display turn off after a set time is there any issue? Sleep can cause a multitude of misc. issues.
