I may have a solution. quit Logmein control panel. go into system preferences, Security and Privacy. then Accessibility. click the lock to make changes. delete the LMIGUIAgent. then close preferences. now start up Logmein control panel. It will  say that you need to approve access to security and privacy preferences and will help you do it. It will open the system prefences then go to Accessibility and check the LMIGUIAgent which will be back.

      I did use Clean my mac and completely uninstalled logmein. then I downloaded it again and reinstalled it. Then i made those system prefernece adjustments. I think the mac needs to be asked to allow for those permissions. I also use clean my to repair disk permissions.

        This is a brand new computer. I just installed it for the first time. There’s basically nothing on the computer. And when I upgraded my other iMac to Catalina it happened too. I’m thinking there’s something to do with Catalina.

        After doing those last steps did your issue resolve?
