Hey, folks! Upgraded to Ventura 13.0.1 yesterday, after installing the last Monterey update beforehand. Upon the first post-Ventura restart, Stickies would not open. I get the "Stickies quit unexpectedly" error box, with options to re-open (doesn't work, just goes same error), ignore, or report. I reported it once. Restart doesn't help. Have tried several times, always with same error message.

Any tips?
With the Affect Application Closed completely Hold the SHIFT key and try to launch the Application again.
This is a Safe Launch of the application.
Still issues >>
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drives from loading
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
I really appreciate your time and help. But unfortunately, the problem persists.
1) I dl'd Malwarebytes and ran a scan. It detected zero problems of any kind.
2) I reinstalled Ventura from recovery mode as instructed.
3) I deleted VMWare (which is seldom needed for work; I primarily was using it on the rare occasions when I needed to run Windows on my Mac).
Stickies app will still not open.
Here is a new EtreCheck report.
Thanks anyway. Rather than go through those extra steps, I think I will just learn to live without Stickies for now, and hope an update fixes some culprit bug. I will log in with the second user account I created in an earlier step, copy all my Stickies items into a Pages doc, and send it to myself.
Thx, P. Phillips. I tried the Safe Launch of the application. Same result.
I then restarted in Safe Mode as you described. Same result.
OK it took some time to open.
Thank you for the Report. We will dissect it in detail.
Will get back to you in early AM of tomorrow with my first double expresso
Thank you again!
Welcome but the real test will be once the dissection is completed
Until Wednesday AM
That is a alternative and good work your side 👍
Though, a update to Ventura may not necessarily fix the Stickies issue
Stickies won't open since Ventura upgrade
