For example, the Visual Studio Code, spent minutes until allow mouse clicks, etc.

Reboot and check again if you have issues.

Yes, same issue. Visual-studio-code is slow (others apps too - brave browser, etc). Take some minutes to answer a simple mouse click over a file selected. I uninstall (pacman remove) and reinstall the IDE Vscode and the problem remain the same. I dont know the cause.

I did it. Reboot and check. Some apps are OK. Only few that I need to use are too slow.

List which applications you have issues with.

Open htop in the terminal

htop

and then one of these applications and check the cpu utilization if these slow-downs occur.


Edit: If these are all AUR packages, are they up to date (garuda-update -a)?
