I have several unknown (unbekannt) items in Login Items of System Preferences which I can't delete. They are all the same. If I tick the hide field then a new unknown item is created. (user is 'Administrator')
Help, please?
macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
Clicking the Hide field does not remove them from Login items, it only hides them when starting up the mac.
to remove the items from Login Items highlight the items you want to remove and then click the - (minus button)
I know this usual procedure, but in this case it does not work. The unknown items don't move.
I know also what the hide button usualy does. In this case the unknown item copies itself. That's why I have multiple items.
this was in the thread.
Statt USERNAME schreiben Sie "unbekannt"
• To Search for a User, use this command:
/usr/bin/dscl . -search /Users name [USERNAME]
in our case:
/usr/bin/dscl . -search /Users name _fpsd
• To Delete a User, use this command:
sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -delete "/Users/[USERNAME]"
in our case:
sudo /usr/bin/dscl . -delete "/Users/_fpsd"
Sorry, I don't need to delete User(s), I would like to delete my multiple "Unbekannt" Login Items (to the right in picture). I am the owner of these Login Items.
Read this thread, it explains what is going on:
Now I wrote the hole _fpsd user? thread 3 times and did not find a thing about "Login Items" in "Users & Groups". 😟
I don't have this _fpsd user - I think this is off topic.
but you read all the unknown items in that thread and it shows what to do, not just the _fpds one.
Please run Etrecheck and post its report here, so we can have a chance at troubleshooting this.
