Hi,

try the following steps:

Quit and delete AlDente and go in Finder to Macintosh HD/Library/LaunchDaemons and delete “com.davidwernhart.Helper.plist”. Afterward, go to Macintosh HD/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools and delete “com.davidwernhart.Helper”. Restart your MacBook and download and install the newest version of AlDente again.
