[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1949450, member: 204485"] I suppose this is why I always encourage people to upgrade macOS incrementally, in other words update/upgrade as soon as the bugs are ironed out. Upgrading from Monterey to Sequoia simply means apart from all the changes and new additions to the macOS you have to contend with, all the app adaptions and updates have to be tackled at the same time. This is why Apple encourages us to update/upgrade regularly and ensure all apps are updated before upgrading your macOS. Marrk, you are probably only having to do what you would have done had you upgraded/updated your macOS each year, you're just doing it all at once. As you have found out reinstalling an app gives you the options to set preferences and permissions. For that reason when doing a "clean" instal or skip several OS's I don't attempt to transfer my 3rd party apps except the "free standing" ones like Coconut Battery . All of the others like the MS Office suite and complex apps that come with their own installers I install as new from the developers. Dare I say, this where a password manager comes in handy.
