I am getting the above message constantly, now. I started off by deleting ~/Library/com.apple.finder.plist and restarting the Finder. No difference. So, I decided to re-install MacOS Ventura. After the three-hour installation process, everything seemed to be working. Until it wasn't. I came back after a few hours and, yes, Finder (not responding). So, I tried relaunching the Finder from the Task Manager window. But, here's the thing: the Finder won't relaunch. Nothing. If I try to launch the Finder from the Dock, it'll bounce a few times, the black 'running' dot will appear, then disappear: no Finder.
Restarting the Mac Studio, the Finder will show (not responding) for 5-10 minutes, then come online, stay running for a few minutes, then back to (not responding).
A of this writing, the Finder has been non-responsive for two hours, making this Mac Studio a very expensive doorstop.
One thing that I have noticed, and I don't know if it's relevant is that, when this happens, the Finder windows seem go out of focus:
![Finder.Locked.png]( "Finder.Locked.png")
You can see that the text is blurred, in comparison to other, responsive apps. Also, I have two administrator accounts on the Studio: it happens in both of them.
So, any ideas..?
TIA,
