Freezing in Monterey

Matt Packwood · Nov 4, 2021, 10:56 PM

is anyone having issues with the app/software freezing / locking up in macOS Monterey? I have removed and reinstalled but "no joy".

Anyone????

@Matt-Packwood, sorry I'm on the road. I'll upgrade my mac when I get home and try it.

Does it work at all? Does it freezes then continue or does it stay frozen? How do you fix it when it freezes? Sorry for 20 questions, but it might help.

If anyone else reading this has Monterey, is the TRIGGERcmd Agent giving you any trouble?

I have "CleanMyMac" so I get a pop-up about frozen apps, the app appears to be frozen so I kill it. If I restart it then it runs for a while (lets say a couple of hours) then freezes again.

@Matt-Packwood, I tried to upgrade my mac and it said Monterey is not available.

When it freezes, what happens? Do you click the icon and it does nothing?

Matt Packwood · Nov 11, 2021, 8:04 PM

It seems like the app freezes if it is started during start-up, if I then kill it and restart it is "good"...

Matt Packwood · Nov 18, 2021, 12:26 AM

Yep, that is the pattern....

Matt Packwood · Nov 23, 2021, 12:46 AM

@Russ I have been messing around and the issue seems to be after a reboot, if the program / app is started "automatically", it then freezes / I force quit, restart and no issues....

Matt Packwood · Jan 12, 2022, 1:16 PM

@Russ Has anyone else reported this? Are there any log files I can check?

Russ · Jan 12, 2022, 1:29 PM

@matt-packwood , no one except you has reported it yet. My Mac won't upgrade to Monterey but I'll see if AWS offers a way to run it in the cloud. It will be much easier to fix if I can reproduce it.

@russ @Matt-Packwood There is a thread developer forum that may help shed some light on this.

Russ · Jan 12, 2022, 11:14 PM

@matt-packwood,

Can you check under the Login Items tab in System Preferences, Users and Groups? You should have a TRIGGERcmdAgent entry in there. Please delete it (or all of them if you have multiple). Then close and re-open the TRIGGERcmdAgent app. It should re-install the login item.

I'm just thinking something might have gone wrong when it was added initially, but I admit, I'm grasping.

Matt Packwood · Jan 13, 2022, 1:55 PM

@Russ it was in Start-Up twice, I followed your instructions and am now testing...

Matt Packwood · Jan 14, 2022, 11:55 AM

@Russ It works for a few minutes then freezes....

Matt Packwood · Jan 14, 2022, 12:35 PM

@Russ TRIGGERcmdAgent Helper is running, TRIGGERcmdAgent is Not Responding.

Russ · Jan 19, 2022, 3:18 PM

@matt-packwood , bummer. What is TRIGGERcmdAgent Helper? Can you send a screenshot?

@matt-packwood, do you have any antivirus software on your Mac? You could try disabling that temporarily to see if that's killing the agent somehow. That might explain why it's happening on your mac but no one else has seen it.

Matt Packwood · Jan 22, 2022, 5:38 PM

@russ Ah!!!! It is Sophos Anti-Virus... Now I need to see how to stop it "killing TriggerCMD".
