How do I stop Mac OS Monterey from verifying every time I open a Microsoft or Adobe app?

Where can I verify apps or developers, so it doesn't take time to verify apps, please.

iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.10

The answer you received is incorrect. The verification is only supposed to happen once. Not every single time you open a third party app.


The solution is to uninstall the app causing the repeated verification step and reinstalling it. It will then verify on the first launch as a "new" app, but then shouldn't afterwards.


Some apps will require a re-verification. Such as every time you apply an update to Office or the Adobe apps. But it should still only do that once after the update has been applied.
