Sudden slowdowns of the desktop and related activities

Hello,
I am using Desktop: Xfce 4.18.1 tk: Gtk 3.24.33 - info: xfce4-panel wm: xfwm 4.18.0 vt: 7 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia - base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy. For a few days now, I have been having problems typing using the XFCE terminal. Once opened, typing becomes slow and impossible to manage.
In addition, when I right-click on a file on the desktop, the pop-up window that appears tends to flash or even disappear. Similarly, when I drag a window, other open windows often overlap without me touching them.
I updated the NVIDIA drivers to version 590.48.01, thinking it was a graphics card issue, and updated the kernel to version 6.8.0-90-generic x86_64 bits, but without success.
Even now, when using xed, typing is slow, and I have to wait for each character to be entered. Do you have any advice?
Thank you.
