Ventura System Setting Message every few minutes. Need help

This notification just started a few days ago, I cannot work out what is the cause, no new software has been installed.


"Background Items Added Software from "Snap, Inc." added items that can run in the background. You can manage this in Login Items Settings"


I can see the item in "Allow in the background" under login items. Have disabled this, but cannot delete it, and I'm still get pops notifications regardless of what I do all the time.


Any ideas on what has happened and how to fix this please

When you can't find a program that starts up, try this:


From within System Settings, General, Login Items.....Look for

an entry in the list that has a small 'i' within a circle. You can click on the 'i'

and it will open a finder window to the associated location. Or look in and

view the files in these locations (using TextEdit) to see if you can spot which

one it is. (Go to Finder, Go, enter /Library). Don't use your library from your username

You can delete them but keep them in the Trash Can just in case so you can restore them

if it causes more problems.


/Library/LaunchDaemons

/Library/LaunchAgents
