Hot corners can't be changed after updating to OS Ventura.

After updating the OS to ventura, all of the hotcorners that were previously enabled are now permanently enabled. The hotcorners section shows that the corners don't have any action selected, but they still do the functions that used to be assigned. I can change the hot corner to a different action but it keeps doing the one from the older OS version. Restarting has no effect on the hot corners.

If you have any way of assisting id appreciate it!

Thank you very much!

I was able to to figure it out after some more messing around.

If I open hot corners in system setting and change them there, it has no effect.

But if I open spotlight and search hot corners, an option called hot corners shortcuts appears.

In that window it was able to make changes that applied.

Hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

Hi Usernam1231

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "Hot corners can't be changed after updating to OS Ventura".

Apple support's online article for MacOS Ventura outlines how hot corners should work:

If Apple's method is not working for you:

You may want to send feedback to Apple. They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will reach those who work behind-the-scenes, and can make changes if others are also experiencing similar issues.
