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).
