Time Machine pop ups

New user to MacBook Pro - first use of Time Machine the back up worked fine, but each time I open Time Machine now, I get a series of pop up windows. I can only close then down but not actually get into Time machine. See screen shot attached.

Hey there PaulAnthonyFleming,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’re having some issues using Time Machine as expected on your Mac. We know how important it can be to access your back ups and we’ll be happy to help with this.


From the screen shot you shared, it looks like you’ve entered Time Machine and will just need to select the folder and date to locate the info you want restore. Take a look at this video for more info on restoring files from Time Machine:
