Recently I installed Big Sur on my 2017 MacBook Pro 13" and at first everything worked fine.
However, since a few days I am unable to start the Messages App. It just keeps jumping in the dock but it never opens. Notifications for new messages do arrive though, it just cannot be opened.
Maybe it is related, maybe not, but Spotlight also stopped working. I can open up the search bar but whatever I type there is never a result displayed. Nothing.
Really frustrating, is anyone having these issues or even knows a fix to this?

Just to let you guys know, after I've had this problem for a few days now Messages and Spotlight just started working again.
I do not know how to reproduce this or whether it will come back, the problem came out of the blue and just vanished again.
The best solution so far seems to me to just keep the machine running through the night and hope it will be done with whatever task that causes the problems by the next morning..
I'll mark this as the correct answer as long as there is no definitive solution on how to fix it (except downgrading to Catalina).
