Can't remove 'unknown login items'?

I have try to start mac in safe mode and launch the chrome again, but the chrome still crash as above.

But if i create a new user(of course, the 'unknown login items' don't appeared) which launch a fresh-installed chrome, the chrome works fine. so, as you describe, it probably the chrome's crash was caused by System Preferences!

W T F ???😠

Thank you so much - this has cost me days of unrewarded effort until today - and within 5 minutes my MBA is now working as it should (and just like my iMac). 🙂

The bug was preventing a lot of my utility programs to fail and for some there were no work arounds.

Thanks again!

They are, supposedly, in the process of letting the masses know about this. Most frustrating, that's for sure; I, like many others here, spent many long nights pulling my hair out (and at my advanced age, I can't afford to do that too often) and cursing Apple (forgive me Father, I was rash). Getting to just the right senior engineer helped a lot. I was frustrated until I remembered my last visit to my son's business (PC only networking and systems repair for 18 years) and saw the chaos that reigns there almost daily--a good living, but frustration in seismic chunks.

It's back!

After updating my MacBook to

10.13.1 (17B48)

I have two unknown items in my Login Items, and two "known" items. I presume that the two "unknown" items are the two items that were there before the update to 10.13.1.

here's the catch / issue, though. There is no backgrounditems.btm on my machine.

Here's the error that I get in console.app:

### Error:18446744073709551581 File:/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AccountsPref/AccountsPref- 285/LoginItem.m Line:68

Thank you for this tip. I found that deleting that file worked for me as well. Sorry if this was covered and I misunderstood, but after re-boot # 2 the problem returned. Seemed to be ok after re-boot # 1, but after I re-booted a second time, all of my log in items were gone again. Is this fix meant to be permanent?

Thanks.

"Spotify", perhaps?

Unable to delete broken login items

I agree, it's a red herring. Spotify works fine on my Macs also.

Guess I just have to be patient.

Surely someone else will eventually report the same problem.

Same issue here, tried removing the plist file and used various apps to cleanup the login items, none of them were successful...

Does Apple generally see stuff like this on the forums or do we need to make a Radar entry or something for this?

Any solutions for this issue? i have same problem too! 😢
