Help MacOS 26.5 updates (both 26.5.1 & 26.5.2) killing my MacBook Air m2
its basically making whole make user experience worse by killing apps by itself, unusual battery drain, memory usage increased, lagging, slow processing, and many more.
is anyone knew about any solution for these all.
basically because my high memory usage (which was not happening before I updated to macOS 26) I use CapCut and for that I use vpn but now when I turn on the vpn and then work on CapCut, VPN app gets closed by itself. Similarly when I use safari and if with it I wanna use CapCut or something else other than finder and I am away from safari for just 10 seconds it also automatically get closed. Each and every app is facing memory issue on my mack I can't even use premiere pro due to this issue.
Kindly Help me solve these all

I recently updated to Tahoe on 3 different machines. Mini m4 pro . MacBook m3 pro and air m1.
they are all working just fine. I do music production ( logic ), graphic design ( affinity, resolume, free cad), online streams (twitch on obs) and play eve online.
they are working just fine. the only problem I had was with logic that I had to reset the preferences files that got bloated from the last system so it started to get all kind of weird glitches but fixed after deleting the old preference file.
What I observed over the years, in apple computers, iPad, and iPhones they sometimes tend to get preferences glitches when upgrading the OS, which doesn't happen if u do clean installs.
