Verifying applications

Hello,


Does anyone know how to disable the "verifying [app name]" feature of Big Sur? The only recent solution I've found with a Google search is to reinstall the OS. That is not an option for me.


Every time I open an Adobe or Microsoft app I have to wait for the computer to verify the application.

This ends up wasting anywhere from a minute to five minutes.


Thank you for your help!

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
