The items under "Open at login" in the system settings are not selectable

Basically the problem I have is as in the title. In the older version of Ventura it worked. I was able to delete an item with a "minus".

Yesterday I did an update to 13.6, and today I noticed that I can't select anything and thus remove.

Although I'm not 100% sure that it broke just yesterday.

To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario


Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test


Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again


Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein 


1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

Welcome


It is amazing that the Mouse and Trackpad can No Perform this action.


Perhaps there are some more serious underlying either Hardware or Software issues that bear attention ?


If you what to explore this further, post back and We ( collective " We " as in those participating in your question ) will try to assist.

Thank you for your help! I managed to find the cause. It is the Rectangle application.


After running it in SafeMode, everything started working. So the cause was one of the applications, I have thought.

I started to disable the applications one by one and after disabling Rectangle everything returned to normal.

Welcome and thank you too


From what I can see from the Developer's site " Supports macOS 10.13+, Intel and Apple Silicon " seems a bit of an inflated claim


But at least you have caught the Source of this issue without the need for the " 7 Step Program " ( humour in reference to the " 10 Step Program " used elsewhere
