macOS 12.7.1 update cause Volume Hash Mismatch

The system is reporting an issue with volume hash values not matching, and the WiFi connection drops frequently. General performance has become sluggish with occasional hangs. This particular macOS update seems to have introduced some bugs that are impacting the usability and stability of my system.
