Security & Privacy Pane not opening

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to access the Security & Privacy Preferences on my Macbook Pro (16-Inch, 2019) with Monterey Version 12.0.1 but I get the following error:

"Preferences Error: Could not load Security & Privacy preference pane."

I cannot seem to find the question being asked or solved anywhere, hoping someone here can help.

Cheers

Justin

Ventura security problems. I updated to Ventura 13.1 . I can not find a way to run for example VMD, molden etc. These are the programs I used to work with on a daily basis. I am getting the errors: For VMD: “startup.command” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. For molden: “libgfortran.3.dylib” can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store. Your security settings allow installation of only apps from the App Store. I did not find a way to make it work. Could anyone help, please? Is there any official way for system problems for mac users? This is really annoying to struggle with this kind of new features that does not work properly on the updated macOS. I have a feeling that with the every update I am less and less happy with the operating system and regret that abandoned linux enviroment... Thank you in advance for your help, tips and tricks.

Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 System Settings not displaying correclty - Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro Just updated to Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 from 13.0.0 and System Settings seems to be broken. "Passwords" and third party preferecnes are showing without any of the other options. 13.0.0 did work fine with the new UI but this update seems to have broken it. Anyone else have the same issue or possibly I'm missing a toggle somewhere to reveal the other options. Any help would be much appreciated. Image below of the issue.

Stop "Sign in with Google" pop-ups I have a Mac air. I am not a big Google user (or Google fan for that matter). However, I do have a Google account that I have accessed via my Safari browser. However, just about every other website is now causing a pop-up that asks me to "sign in with google" as many of these sites have a SSO with Google. I have removed all of my Google sign-in's from Safari, removed cookies, removed history but these annoying "sign in with Google" prompts still exist. I have removed this "opt in" check-box on my Google account as well without any success. How do I stop the annoying pop-ups from Google asking me to sign in?

I've tried that multiple times over the course of the week.
