background Apps

these also did not feature on Etrecheck results

They should be listed. You can use EtreCheck to cross-reference from the developer name and find out exactly what apps these are. Apple doesn't always tell you.

Apple's "background app" user interface is just a really bad idea. You should never disable any apps using that interface. If you don't want some app to run, then you should uninstall it. Don't try to just disable part of it. There is no way to tell how apps will respond to that. They were never designed for that kind of vandalism. Maybe in 5 or 6 years, when developers notice that Ventura was released, they will adapt to this new capability. But for now, I wouldn't recommend making any changed in that new user interface.

Did you install Sidify? That's likely the source of "Guilian Xiao".

Then, Post the Full Report

That would seem a reasonable request if you what help with these Mysterious Applications

Then Barney was correct. Those are apps you had installed previously.

Same, a Brand New Machine I picked up Saturday Oct 21, 2023 , Yesterday

None of those mentioned applications are even Installed on this computer

Did you Migrate Everything including Applications from another computer ?

I have turned off their access but I wondered where they came for as its a brand new Mac running Sonoma

Just to clarify something, "a brand new Mac" implies nothing was installed or migrated.

Brand new from where? Did you migrate info from an older Mac? They shouldn't be there.

I would run the free trial of Malwarebytes

Those are the names used to sign the software you installed at some point, either on a previous Mac you migrated from or you installed on that Mac.
