Hi friends,
I recently built a new system and it works 99% as desired, with some small lingering issues. I've tried searching the forums but these issues seem to be tough to describe. Hopefully, your immense knowledge can help.
The main issue is that several apps hang upon launch. That is, they don't launch but go right to (Not Responding) status. The icon bounces in the Dock and the indicator light appears, but the app fails to materialise. So far, the apps that consistently do this are:
A system restart fixes this problem, but needless to say, it's a nuisance! Can anyone see a suspected cause or fix? Would love to get this thing up and running properly without the need for constant restarting. So far I've tried dumping the preferences and setting files, and reinstalling both apps, but this persists. It's very odd — can anyone help?

- Slack (download directly, not from App Store)
- Notion (no App Store version)
