stop analyzing audacity

I just updated to Audacity 3.25, and the program will not open. Instead I get a message that the software is being analyzed, and the analysis just hangs up. The hangup has lasted for more than an hour. How do I bypass the analysis?

The macOS-x.x.x-arm64.dmg is for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/…) macs, the macOS-x.x.x-x86_64.dmg is for Intel macs."

I had downloaded the universal version of Audacity. The x86 version really works!
