Regarding your clipboard issues, you can force restart the clipboard as follows:

  • Open the Terminal app (find in Spotlight or Applications > Utilities).
  • Type the following command and hit return:
killall pboard
  • Alternatively, you can open Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, search for pboard in the top-right corner, double-click it, and select Force Quit


If there are other issues, you might consider elaborating on those.


Regarding a forthcoming 'patch', “we” are users like you and have information about what or when Apple will update. Apple employees are generally precluded from even reading these forums, with the exception of moderators who only monitor for compliance with the T&C.


General troubleshooting steps are as follows:


Have you rebooted your Mac? If not, that's the first step. If that does not help, then see if the problem is present when you boot in safe mode. That process performs some system cleanup and clears caches, and also disables 3rd party extensions that may cause problems.

 

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


If that does not correct the issue, test in a new user account. A newly-created user account will have all settings at default, and if the issue does not occur in that new account then it provides guidance on what may need to be changed to correct the issue.

 

Add a user or group on Mac - Apple Support

 

Once the testing is complete, the new account can easily be deleted.

 

Delete a user or group on Mac – Apple Support


Those steps will help to isolate the problem.


It might help to download and run EtreCheck, written by a long-time forum member. The free version is fine. Post the full report using the Additional Text button. No personal information is revealed. 



Personally, I've been running macOS 26.7.1 on one of my Macs (a 16" M1 Pro MBP) since it was released, and have had no issues with it.
