Yup. Went away for a while with the latest update, and now back to crashing constantly. Using external monitor and quite a few full screen apps
Tried to run an Applescript which access my Contacts.
It has no permissions to do so, despite the permissions being correctly granted in System Settings (two places; one under Contacts and one under Automations). I even blew away the permissions (via tccutil reset AppleEvents) to no avail. It subsequently requested the permissions, I added them again, but it still failed. Feedback logged.

Mail seems to be working a lot better. Deleted emails have stopped reappearing after being deleted. I sent in a video of the desktop and mail while it was doing this on the FeedBack Assistant.
I've reported this in Feedback Assistant, but has anyone else noticed that the Apple Watch isn't getting prompted for a double-tap to approve a Touch ID prompt on the Mac until after successfully using Touch ID? I also tried it where I waited for the Watch to receive the prompt, used the Watch instead of my laptop, and the Watch then got a second prompt after authentication had already passed. On the latest Watch and MacOS betas
Outstanding. I’ll wait for the next beta (GM at that point, no?).
Hopefully it’s a weird beta firmware thing that has to do with my Belkin Thunderbolt 3 dock. I do not want to deal with sending my machine in…
Ugh! Whenever my M1 MBP goes to sleep, I get a "WindowServer quit unexpectedly" crash and it reboots. This has been as consistent as Old Faithful over the last 4 betas or so.
I've also found that one of my Time Machine backup drives is now not mounting in the Settings/General/Time Machine field, although the Drive is mounted and I can navigate thru all of my Time Machine folders. Trying to boot into Recovery to try reformatting said drive, I get nothing but a blank screen.
I think this needs to go back in the oven- wait what's that? An RC is expected to be released this week or next? I sure hope they're STILL not putting all of their energy into "fixing" Stage Manager. Maybe try working on some actual bugs...

Apparently Ventura / WindowServer is supposed to just crash all the time, no? Apps just randomly becoming non-responsive until the whole thing reboots? Seems the norm now.
****THAT'S FIVE WindowsServer quit unexpectedly' Crashes today so far.

Not normal at all. No windowserver crashes here have been experienced on 2 different Macs running Ventura since.. I can't even remember if it happened during betas for me.
Whelp, it’s been pretty “normal” for me on my 2020 M1 MBP. I just reinstalled macOS 13, build 22A5376b, and after roughly an hour of uptime after that, ALL apps including Finder are just becoming non-responsive. If I open Activity Monitor to see what’s up, THAT app becomes non-responsive, too. Booooo
This sounds like a hardware failure of some kind. What does Apple Hardware Test show?
I get an ADP000 Code, which means 'No issues found'.
I've been on the Ventura betas all Summer, too, and haven't had any issues like this until the most recent beta. And as an aside, my iPad on the latest iPadOS 16 beta also freezes up a lot. If we were betting on my issue being Hardware or Software related, I'd be doubling down on the Software bet.

Thanks!! It's only been an hour, but so far so good! I've been beta testing macOS (and OS X) for a long long time, I think at least 12-14 years, and for some reason ONLY the last few days of the prior beta was rebooting me at least 5-7 times a morning. Enough to just throw my hands up and shut it off for the day. I'd feel more comfortable having the full installer, though. I'm thinking I'll do a clean install and "start over" with Ventura.
GM came out today, so I decided to jump.
Now I'm starting to regret it. It's been running great all day until just now when a white window appeared on the screen, toward the right side. It didn't seem to be owned by any app that was running. I couldn't close it or make it go away. It was "always on top" so it blocked anything that it was over.
After exasperatingly killing everything I could in Activity Monitor and it not going away I finally rebooted to get it to go away. Anyone else seen this? What the heck could it be??

I’ve been testing Ventura since the get go and I’ve been filing Feedback all along the way. The betas, for me and some others, have gone from great to worse to almost unusable. For others, it runs like a champ! It’s going to be a YMMV situation, and at least in my case, I might be doing a clean install next week. Hasn’t been a good last couple days on my end.
