2015 computer updated to Monterey 12.7.6. I use touchpad, no mouse. Cursor freeze happens when I use Firefox, Messages, Apple TV, Word, Excel. To fix I must turn off power, & then sign back into everything. I only have a few windows open at once.
It's happening more often- a couple of times/month. Any suggestions to prevents this?

Hi!
Here are some possible things you can do:
Check for Updates: Make sure macOS and all apps are up to date.
Reset SMC and NVRAM: This can resolve issues with hardware and system settings.
Activity Monitor: Check for any apps using too many resources (like CPU or memory).
Create a New User: Create a new account to see if the issue is account-specific.
Disable Hardware Acceleration: Turn off hardware acceleration in apps like Firefox, Word, etc.
Run Disk Utility: Use First Aid in Disk Utility to check for disk errors.
Reinstall macOS: If nothing works, reinstall macOS (after backing up your data).
Let me know if you need anymore assistance!
