Url with the type File: not supported

Since installing Sonoma I get this message in a popup constantly and I have no idea how to stop it. My Mac is almost unusable because of the constant interruptions with it.

Any advice on how to stop this would be greatly appreciated.

3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 running Sonoma 14.0

iMac 27″, macOS 14.0

Your system has been upgraded in place for many years.

You have many many system extensions and daemons that are very old and could be failing and causing all sorts of conflicts.


There is stuff from Parallels version 7 (the current one is what... 19?) that was moved to /Users/Shared/... because it is incompatible, but there is more. This one is not running, so you can at least delete it and recover some space.


But, really, what this system needs is to backup, erase all content and settings, and then migrate ONLY the user accounts. Get rid of all the cruft and start Sonoma with a clean system. It takes much less time than it used to: it is no longer necessary to actually reinstall the system (it is mounted read-only in a sealed volume, anyway).
