Here's the funny part... for me, this error pops up mostly when I'm not using Safari, or any other browser. In fact, it popped up this last time when the only thing running was App Store and I was updating the iWork apps. Also funny, it only happens on one of my 3 machines. All Catalina (current).
Have you found a resolution or cause? I now have 3 different machines with this problem, and it's transitioning from the mildly annoying stage to the Completely Unacceptable phase.
All 3 machines are running Catalina, and are fully up to date.
Hello,
I tried to update everything and it went away for 2 days then it came back. It got to the point that i broke one of my machine in frustration.
Now its the same with my 2nd machine and LORD FORBID if these apple guys can help resolve anything. I don't know at this point what to do i just leave it like that, and don't click ok so it stays in the background as it is and doesn't pop up again and again. I am definitely moving to surface pro after this **** show. Extremely disappointed and frustrated and this community and apple guys are worse than anything and doesn't have any solution or won't even help.
Good luck with this
I'm experiencing the same situation on Catalina since Safari 14 was released, and I've been submitting all of the crash reports to Apple. It seems to only stop happening once I disable all Safari extensions. As soon as I re-enable any of the extensions, the multiple SafariPlugInUpdateNotifier Quit notifications happen again within a day (or until I reboot).
Annoying!
Fix this please.
