Why "login items" notifications pop up while there's no app listed on startup or background?

I feel the same way. I used to like Apple because I was not bombarded with notifications. I felt in control, but, now, notifications pop up everywhere and it does not matter that I turn them off completely. Nothing matters anymore, notifications will notify you of nonsense everywhere (iphone, mac, etc) all the time. We’ve lost control. I am sad to leave Apple, but I have no choice at this point.

I'm not sure that the grass is greener on Android or Windows.

MacOS/iOS are very stable, and this is a huge benefit, that I would not sacrifice so quickly ...

And frankly, beside this login item issue, we really are in control of notifications.

I almost always refuse notifications from apps that I install (and iOS always ask if notifications have to be enabled).

Well for me upgrading to Ventura 13.2.1 didn't change anything.

I still got notifications after my login for each of the app for which I had disabled "Allow in the Background" in the login items.

I had more notifications, for some these apps, when I opened the Login Items page in System Settings.

As far as I am concerned, this is not fixed!

Notifications for Login Items (including the items in the "Allow in the Background") should work as follows:

• when an app install a new login/background item, we should get a notification to confirm whether we want to disable this item (not always the case as far as I am concerned)
• we should not get notifications related to a item after it has been disabled
• when an item takes a long time and slow the computer, we should get a notification to ask whether we want to disable it
• Apple should require developers to include a description for each item explaining why it is useful, and the consequences of disabling it. If the description is missing, or not helpful, enable users to report the login item. Have a blacklist of login items which are disabled by default based on this user feedback (and review of the description).
• The most frequent case of Background Item is to check for application update. For these items, we should be able to manage the frequency of the check from this list
• Shell scripts appear with only their filename and "Item from unidentified developer", while they are actually part of an application package! they should be displayed as part of the application
• Applications may install several items, however there is no way to view the details. There should be a dropbox to enable to view items individually, and disable/enable them at the item level instead of application level.

Thank you all for the assistance. Done everything except ‘downgrade’ from Ventura. Still getting notification pop-up at start up and restart. Fed up with it now so going back to Monterey.

Please, no need to reply further.

I do not know which App(s) is causing this. This started after the latest OS upgrade.

I am using the MAC for my video editing only.

I would ditch the MAC if not for my FCP X.

There is no solution for this unless Apple does something about this.

Enough!

Thank you Jacobx. Upgrading to 13.2.1 didn't solve my problem nor did any of the other turning off/deleting this and that suggestions above. The article you linked did work and the steps were very easy to follow and do! It definitely helped me!

I'm getting these stupid "Google Updater" notifications on my screen now, even during Keynote presentations--even though I have "Allow notifications when mirroring or sharing the display" is turned off. This is distracting from my presentations at work and annoying during the rest of the day. How can I turn these notifications off??

Uninstall Goolag Updater.

Im having the same issue. I did what they told me but I do not have anything in my logins to remove. WAKE UP APPLE . I don't know what's going on with apple I have been having so many problems. Everything I have is an apple product and I've been a longtime user but im getting fed up.

Hi, I'm having the same issue.

Even though the pop up notifs are from apps that no longer exist on my hard drive!

I tried everything and nothing seems to work. It's just getting more and more annoying.

Apple do something please!

These notifications keep popping up from time to time. I've deleted all items in the Login Items list. I don't even know what these notifications are about because it doesn't say so in the notifications and when I click on one of the notifications, it simply takes me to the Login Items screen.

It is just like Windows Vista case, which showed a lot of 'Need your permission to continue' things. That time, Apple even made an Ad to tease it.

Now they are doing exactly the same mistake haha. It seems they show that now they changed just as Microsoft back then.

I was giving a lecture today and the stupid Google Updater login notice popped up twice. I was in full-screen presentation mode for Keynote, which is supposed to not show any pop ups, but it did anyway! How do I make this stop?

Since the loss of Jobs, Apple's goin downhill faster than Ivan Origone, Even the clerks at the local Mac store agreed on this (I went in to get a upgrade on my Crapple TV, which should be doable at home. The Crapple phone techs, awesome folks btw some of whom I'm getting to be on a first name basis with since I have to call so often, couldn't figure it out, so I had to take it to the app store to get it done). In any case,

Login items notifications: In my case, it was a Google issue. I found it using a piece of cleaning software (when I mention the name of the software, which helps magnificently in keeping my Macs up and running smooth, the Crapple Community crew deletes my comment, so you'll have to figure it out). I ended up using the cleaning app and also deleting everything Google, and problem solved. Still working on other various vomitations, but this one is solved!

These apps include Microsoft Office (Teams, Word, Outlook, Excel), Spotify, many audio plugins under Ableton Live (haven't tried Logic), CleanMyMac, and others. The problem isn't a rogue app, it's the vast majority of apps needed for people to work. The solution is with Apple, not the users.
