Catalina TextInputMenuAgent and Disnoted

Same issue here. I have tried to contact Apple Support and couldn't get this problem solved. I tried reinstall the OS and recover from my backup none of them seem to work.

Oh well... CleanMyMac claims another victim 😢

This hideous program keeps wreaking havoc on unsuspecting users' macs...

There are also other possible issues, but first of all thoroughly uninstall this ****.

Make sure to have a good backup of your system drive.

Even uninstalling does not mean things will be ok, because it may already have deleted or modified files and thus damage your system.

Also, the version of VirtualBox is old and needs to be updated.

Same problem here on Catalina, after each sleep/wakeup. Causing the battery to be drained extremely fast. Killing the two processes solves the problem, but don't know if there's any side effect. Trying to disable the language icon in menu bar, will see if it is working on my next wakeup.

Having this problem too. I might have some clue to reproduce it.

I'm using an MBP18 with Touch Bar with a Chinese(QWER) keyboard layout. And I use a customized French keyboard cover to relabel the keys as if they were in an AZER keyboard. This approach works properly after setting the primary input source to Français and delete the ABC input source. I can use Chinese Pinyin input with AZER layout. But if I add another input source, like the original ABC, it confuses a lot. With another input source depending on QWER layout(like Russian(Phonetic), though I don't quite understand why Pinyin works fine with virtual AZER layout but Russian doesn't), the problem of TextInputMenuAgent occurs far more often. I might encounter once or twice per day now but multiple times per hour when ABC and Russian are enabled. The problem started after upgrading to 10.15. 10.15.1 doesn't help.

I can't disable the display of input method in menu bar because I'm constantly switching between multiple languages. By the way I have also enabled a display of input method in Touch Bar but it almost always shows wrong information.

I guess there is quite much work for Apple engineers to do to fully settle all the problems with input sources.

I had similar problem, and went through a very hard time. I have disabled the multiple languages input, still and with disnoted issue comes, hard reboot and comes with no pattern traced. I make a clean macOS Catalina installation with delete partition, download from web the latest version, etc. While installing it, the fan span crazy and all seems very slow, which I noticed the language input icon was there and gave me PKDownloadError error 8, every trial. under recovery, I even had to make a hard reboot! I also could not restored back the original macOS that comes with my MacBook Air, which was Mojave. Luckily, I had another MacBook, which I had to make a bootable USB with Mojave, then put in fresh boot and installation from the USB. After install Mojave clean, I then go for Catalina. Then only other applications. Till date, so far so good, none of these two happened. more than three weeks already. Hope my horror experience helps.

TextInputMenuAgent crashes several times per day

It’s been 4 days the bloody things didn’t come back since I disabled it. But it is inconvenient that I can use different languages input.

this question was caused by wechat in my macbook air (macOS Catalina 10.15.1). this question disappear after i upgraded wechat from appstore. Hope helpful.
