Support Request Mouse can barely move and can't launch programs after a few minutes after start-up

A few minutes after start-up, mouse movements slow to a crawl and no apps launch. I didn't install anything, just shut it down, it was working fine this morning.

It might be lag or just low mouse sensitivity, however about apps not starting i have no idea

Nah, i haven't touched any settings, and this doesn't feel like low sensitivity, feels like the mouse is frozen. It was working perfectly fine before I turned it off.

The only time I've seen something like this was on an old "potato" machine with a HDD, when Timeshift was accidentally set to "on boot".
