Hi,
The computer is a family computer and as such there are multiple accounts. The account I use doesn't have admin permissions, however, I wanted to install an updated version of Bluestacks, which required you to use an account with admin perms.
To preface this, when the computer was bought, it had the information from an account on my family's MacBook transferred over (I do not recall the version). The MacBook had this weird thing where if it was inactive for 15 minutes, it would log itself out. I have no idea why and this issue has transferred itself over to the Monterey. The log out can be prevented if an app with unsaved work is open. Some apps will still get closed on occasion, though.
This account was given admin perms via an account with admin perms, and ever since it's been a little weird, even after the perms were removed. Sometimes when the computer tries to log itself out, the apps it does manage to close cannot be opened and it gives the popup "[app name] cannot be opened". Once this happens, no apps can be opened, whether they were active recently or not. Nothing is mentioned about permission and if I try to click the little question mark, it makes a "tk" noise. It also stops me from using control+command+shift+4 to take screenshots. I don't know if it prevents other screenshot commands as I have them disabled. The only way to fix this seems to be to restart the computer.
On occasion the computer won't log out, restart or shut down if attempted manually, even if everything is saved, it just doesn't do anything. The only thing that can be done is shutting it down by holding down the power button, which I understand can be bad for the computer?
I'm not sure what to do and it's getting quite annoying. I don't think a virus was downloaded, as I've used Bluetsacks before and it's quite popular and trusted, although perhaps there was some faulty code? It never installed a new version, though, as it claimed the app was up to date.
Thank you!
