Location Services system preferences not saving since Mac OS Monterey upgrade
Since upgrading to MaC OS Monterey, Location Services preferences are not saving. 'Enable
Location Services' automatically resets to 'on' after restart and system services location services are automatically selected, regardless of my having disabled, ie unchecked 'Enable Location Services' and individual system services prior to shutting down my macbook.
A related issue is that each time I start up my macbook a prompt appears saying Calendar would like to access my location. I say 'allow'. After a restart this preference is lost and the message appears once more requesting Calendar access to my location. While it is annoying to see this prompt after every startup, more disconcerting is that if I uncheck (ie deselect) 'Enable Location Services', on subsequent restarts the system automatically resets to 'Enable Location Services' and most System Services (though not Find my mac). Calendar Location services is always unchecked after restart.
I've tried starting in Safe Mode and also running First Aid in Disc Utility.
Can anyone offer a solution? Both to the issue of saving preferences and also stopping repeated requests for Calendar to access my location.
