Very frequently now, Mac OS opens the News app (in full screen, no less) when I log in or unlock the machine from sleep (such as today, where keyboard presses did nothing and I had to press the iMac's power button to wake it).
NO, I do NOT have News listed in Login Items! There are two threads on Apple Discussions that ask the same question, tens of "me too" clicks, and only ONE response, telling people in both cases to check the login items. Both threads are locked because they're "old". I'm not going to bother opening a new thread there because I don't want the same useless non-answer thrown at me.
ANYONE??
Also, if anyone reading this has a fix for one of the OTHER MANY ANNOYANCES: Banner notifications do nothing when clicked. At all. Ever. Well, they disappear, but that's it. "Updates available. [Install Now]" DOES NOTHING. Click banner to open App Store... DOES NOTHING. I've seen a thread here about that and nobody had solutions. (EDIT: clicking on iMessage notification banners works fine, but mostly none of the others)
EDIT 2: And while I'm at it, clicking the iMessage banners leaves me with a text box to type in, in Messages, but I get NO TEXT when I type. The autocorrect popups still appear, making this one of the most insane bugs ever. Tabbing around the UI is also broken. If I swipe to that fullscreen app, this also happens. The ONLY way I can switch to it and get working text box is CMD-Tab. So I am constantly clicking or swiping to the app to reply, being blocked by this insane bug, and then CMD-Tabbing angrily away and back again.
I feel like Apple has become Microsoft. I'm so sick of the tech industry.
