My MacBook Pro has become slow

Hello, I am Mac user and I recently downloaded the latest version of TM (2023.3.4).
Since then my computer has significantly slowed down even when the program is closed. It takes up to a couple minutes to complete an action like opening Outlook or Whatsapp Desktop and often times the app does not even open and I need to shut it down manually.
When restarting the computer the first app I launch works fine but as soon as I launch another one it freezes.
Moreover when using TM the app slows down or lags if I have other apps open.

I already deleted the app and will be trying downloading an older version of the program but I wish to know what would be the right characteristics for a Mac or Windows computer in order for it to work just fine.
