So upgraded to Big Sur the other day. Now am having some odd disk issues. One of my external drives no longer shows up, browser hangs trying to save a jpg, can't open the utilities folder (spinning icon and 'loading'), and clicking 'about this mac' does not do anything.

It's possible my 16 inch MBP disk is having issues, but since I can't open the utilities folder to get at disk utility I can't check. Have a Super-Duper backup, and will try booting from it later to see if I can get to disk utility then, but was wondering if anyone else is having odd disk issues after Big Sur install?
 
Sigh, so powered off and on and that seems to have cleared up the utilities folder access, as well as 'about this mac' opening... Very annoying.
