Why am I getting "This disk is unreadable by this computer" ?

Multiple times a week I sit down at my MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.6.3 and I have multiple notifications "This disk is unreadable by this computer." The problem is, I haven't inserted any disk or attached anything to warrant getting this.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Hi Windy605,


If you do not have external USB drives, SD cards, or other storage attached, check to see if you have any .dmg files that a program is attempting to open but can't. Another possible step you can take is to follow the guidelines at Repair a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac to check your internal storage devices and ensure they are operating as designed.'


If those don't help, further information would be needed to help future replies offer more direct suggestions.


Regards.
