Hi! I’m working on MacBook Air 2019 Mojave 10.14.6 and every sketch, even examples, freezes eventually, the computer is unresponsive and I have to shut down, sometimes the canvas blink. Other programs work fine.
I’m not programer and I have no idea what’s happening.
Hope you can help me.

Do any errors get thrown in the console?

problem solved, only had to perform an update that I had skipped before.
