[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1927752, member: 204485"] The text below the heading Allow in background pretty much explains what these items are; [ATTACH type="full"]37990[/ATTACH] These items are or were added by an application you installed at some time. Most of them if "ON" will appear in your Menu Bar and their actions will be apparent if you click on them. If you have removed their "parent" app by simply dragging the application icon to the trash they may be ophaned leftovers. The only thing you can do is turn them off or do a search for them using a 3rd party app like Find Any File and trash them from there. The best method is to ensure when uninstalling an app you use a good (free) uninstaller like AppCleaner or Trashit to get rid of the extras. This is also another argument for an occasional "clean" instal of macOS. [/QUOTE]
