I’m going to go ahead and try this out (updating macOS). I’ll let you know how things turn out. Thank you for the persistent effort, Herb, I appreciate it.
Edit:
@hbowie It looks like I found the root of the problem: Too many installations of Notenik. It turns out that I had three betas in my Downloads directory. I deleted the oldest ones and replaced the last official release from the App Store with 11.7.3. Everything is running well.
Thanks for the help and I’m sorry if this was any inconvenience to you.
