App Store Blank Screen after upgrading to MacOS Monterey?

Found that going to Apple icon on the top left > System Preferences > Security and Privacy, then unlocking to make changes, clicking on 'System Services' > Details > Tick 'On' Networking and Wireless under 'Allow System Services to Determine Your Location'.

Found that this solved the App Store Blank Screen after upgrading to MacOS Monterey. Hopefully this will help those upgrading to Ventura and later OSs as well.

Why after the upgrade to Monterey, the App Store started showing a blank white screen while using the router with WPA2 security, but allowed App updates and showed App Store properly when using the older router with WPA only, was not explained by Apple Support over three days of calls and chats.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Alas, I don't have Ventura available to me either. I suggest asking in the

Ventura forum where more people with Ventura are present.

Just to add, someone at Apple may have realized by the time Monterey rolled around, having "Export as PDF" as an option for PDFs was rather redundant. 😎

🤣

Redundant to people at Apple, or a glitch which has possibly not been noted or reported?

Turns out to be important to this MacBook Air user, so am following it up with persistence.

You're more than welcome to explain how it's important to you.

There's nothing "Export as PDF" does/did with PDFs that can't be done with"Export…". 🤣

Well, seeing I have never received a password protected PDF since I've started using Macs in 1985, I wouldn't be aware of it. I will have to take your word for it. 😎
