For what it's worth I've been able to not only make that stupid pop-up go away but also get a patronizing "Congratulations" screen saying I'm able to use the application.
I'm running MacOC Monterey (12.0.1) updated / installed today on an iMac (Late 2015)
This morning I utterly uninstalled anything LogMeIn (perhaps unnecessary, but it felt cleansing). I then logged into the LogMeIn site as if this is a new system, dowloaded the software, installed it, became reacquainted with the pop up, and suppressed my animosity.
Then, I did the following and please note that I’m not entirely sure which step won me the favor of the LogMeIn pop-up gods but suspect it was the following:
- System Preferences > Security & Privacy
- Unlocked (bottom-left corner) and signed in with admin account
- Privacy tab and proceeded down every option checking for anything LogMeIn:
-- Location Services - not there
-- Contacts - not there
-- Calendars - not there
-- Reminders- not there
-- Photos- not there
-- Camera- not there
-- Microphone - **THERE** - LogMeIn - checked
-- Speech Recognition - not there
-- Accessibility - **THERE** - LMIGUIAgent, LogMeIn - checked
-- Input Monitoring - not there
-- Full Disk Access - **THERE** - LogMeIn Control Panel, LogMeIn Client, LogMeIn - checked
-- Files and Folders - nothing there to check
-- Screen Recording - **THERE** - LMIGUIAgent, LogMeIn - checked
-- Media & Apple Music - nothing there
-- HomeKit - nothing there
-- Bluetooth - nothing there
At this point I was still getting the pop-up every time I closed it.
BUT, when I clicked the "Lock" again the annoying pop-up of doom changed!
The stupid thing actually congratulated me on my success and said I should now enjoy using the program!!
NOTE: I’m not sure I’m thrilled with what I’ve allowed such as microphone and screen recording but I’m just saying the pop-up is gone.
Other things I did but am not sure it matters or was otherwise futile acts in desperation and frustration:
- After installation - during a flurry of LMI pop-ups that wouldn’t die - a "badge" came up on my desktop and, when I clicked it, was taken to System Preferences > Notifications & Focus
- In Notifications, along the left I selected the following:
—LogMein Control Panel: while I have the “Allow Notifications” on/blue I did set the alert style to “none” and unchecked everything in hopes it would stop the pop up.
—LogMeIn Menubar: to be honest, I didn’t touch that (didn’t see it at the time) and while it is also on/blue the alert style is set to “Alerts” and all of the boxes are checked in the same pane, but none in the bottom area of the window.
Also:
I then opened the LogMeIn Control Panel
- Options (left pane) > Preferences (right pane) - new window pops up
- In Preferences I then click “Appearance” (left pane) then checked the box next to “Disable LogMeIn notification message” (right pane)
Like I said, that last bits are just to share what else I tried before finding the pop-up changed to shock me with a “Congrats” and I’ve not seen it since. I’ve even quit the app and restarted it with success in not having the pop-up come back.
