Short description of error

I started installing Blender 3.1 stable for M1 Version ( I work in MacBook Pro m1 2020)
normal install with my _Addons as usual.
I opened a older Blend File, change to Cycles and as I change to rendered view, Blender and also my MacBook Pro freezes completely
I worked a long time with the 3.1 beta version and never had problems with rendering.
and I tried it now with different Projects

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

Are you using Metal for cycles rendering?
When you say you tried it with different projects, does that mean it works on those other projects or not?
Does it happen with a factory reset? File > Defaults > Load Factory Settings.
