Hello,
Sorry I didn’t follow up, as I was trying several approaches on my own.
After several trials, and not being able to reproduce the error on other machines. (couldn’t try on a similar chip M1 Pro). I reset my laptop, but that also didn’t work.
However, the issue was miraculously solved on it’s own, I believe with the latest macOS update to Ventura 13.2
Thank You again for all who contributed in helping, and taking from your time. It’s more than highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mark
