NTK Daemon Helper required every startup?

xylemflo

I am trying to find out why an NTK Daemon Helper install is required every time I start my machine (M2 Mac Mini). This does not happen on my laptop (M1 MacBook Pro) with the same NI software. See screenshot. Is this a startup or permissions setting of some kind?

Do you experience this issue even if you add Native Access and the NTKDaemon to your Login Items:. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh15189/mac#:~:text=Add%20or%20remove%20automatic%20items,Login%20Items%20on%20the%20right

Jeremy, Thanks. I just toggled the Daemon and Native Access off and back on for login access, and the issue disappeared. Not sure why that would work, but I am cautiously optimistic and will report back if it reappears.

I do not have a Mac , but here is the links for some of the trouble-shooting articles for N.A. on Mac :

Native Access Error: "Please grant permission to NTK Daemon to install dependencies"

Native Access Error Message: "Installation Failed" (Mac)

Native Access Freezes on “Installing Dependencies“ at Startup

Thanks for responding, but NTKDaemon and Native Access already have full disk access. Same as my Macbook which does not have this issue. I am not getting an error, just the prompt to install the helper per the screenshot.
