macOS Ventura Bug Spits Out Perpetual 'Background Items Added' Notifications at Login, Here's a Potential Fix

Thought it was just me! Good (but unfortunate) to know that I’m not alone.
I thought it was just me. Interestingly, this bug appears for me only once a day, even if I shut down my Mac and reboot it. But it's also triggered by other apps that have a relationship to the background item. For instance, I have Audio Hijack. It uses a monitor to detect audio events. Whenever I launch Steam, the Audio Hijack background events notification is triggered.
I tried the recommended fix, but the notice immediately returned.

lol, deleting launch agents is a terrible workaround. Just reset the db with
sfltool resetbtm after getting to 13.2

Same issue here. I thought it was linked to my VPN (proton) or Canon background stuff. Annoying, indeed.
My MacBook Pro actually has this bug (my experience with bugs in iOS or macOS is extremely rare). I find it mostly amusing. Hopefully it gets fixed though.
Try these 3 locations
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Remove Deleted Apps from Background Login Items in Ventura
In this comprehensive tutorial, we will show you the steps to remove the deleted apps from the Background Login items section in Ventura.

Update to 13.2, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app, type or paste
sfltool resetbtm and hit enter. It will then prompt for your password, when complete it will say something like sfltool[13696:3343056] Database reset. in the terminal window.
Agreed. Some applications require LD's or LA's to update and work properly. Removing those would get rid of the messages but could cause additional unintended problems for those applications.
Tim if you see this, I would amend the article with the above warning.

Oddly enough, I've not had this issue. Though, as an IT practitioner, I'm generally irked at this feature in general. I get and respect Apple's dedication to privacy and transparency for users, but this is overkill.
Thanks for the quick reply. Your suggestion worked for one reboot and upon subsequent reboots the problem has returned.
Mmmh... I thought it was actually a security issue, since the only application that seems to push that notification is Chrome. I disabled its "run at startup" permissions and ever since, it's been bothering me with a notification that says Google is trying to add background tasks. I thought it was just macOS avoiding Chrome from automatically running its malware -sorry- software "updater" without permission. I'll leave it as is... the idea (although probably incorrect) that my Mac keeps shooting down Google malware amuses me.
