Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, font cache, etc. 

Login and test. Reboot  as normal and test.  Caches get rebuilt automatically.

In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc impacting the  smooth operation, however a  reboot will put it back to normal mode.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

I'm experiencing random freezes of my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 16in running Monterey when I watch YouTube videos. I have no idea what the trigger may be as the videos can play fine for some length of time and then suddenly freeze -- or sometimes the audio continues -- but I have no more control over the computer. I have to hard reboot. Once I've experienced the freeze, it often happens again quickly after restarting. But if the computer has been shut down of a while, it could be days before it happens again. I've tried restarting in safe mode and have not experienced the problem while running this way. So I must have a software conflict. But I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. Has anyone else experienced this and found a fix? Or does anyone have a suggestion for analyzing the problem? Thank you.

Did you try a different browser and compare your results...?
