Which process/application is requesting 'elevated privileges'?
Every hour or so, I get a pop-up screen that asks for an administrator password and tells me:
"Elevated privileges are required in order to complete installation. Type an administrator's name and password to allow this.", see screenshot below.
The pop-up is not embedded in a full application, so I cannot see in the upper left corner which application is responsible. Needless to say, I would like to understand which application/process is requesting this before providing these details. Restarting my laptop does not resolve this issue. Removing all Login Items and restarting my laptop does not resolve it either. It keeps coming back.
How can I find out which process/application is responsible? How can I remove this issue?
Thank you for your help.
