You can try a SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
re: < Sonoma 14.5 >
I will say the current Sonoma for your macOS is 14.8.9
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support
