Get a warning that the system has run out of application memory
After you have upgraded to macOS 12, you keep getting a warning saying that 'Your system has run out of application memory" and displays a Force Quit menu to quit offending apps even though your Mac is in minimal use.
You can view background apps and processes in Activity Monitor to check the culprits taking dozens of GB of memory that they shouldn't.
This issue, known as a memory leak, is widely reported on Macs of all models, including the 2021 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The culprits are found in macOS Control Center, pre-installed apps, and third-party software.
To get rid of the warning, you can force quit the app or restart the Mac to reset the memory. If the warning still reappears, you probably should downgrade macOS to or stay on macOS Big Sur and wait for the second version of macOS Monterey.
