I keep getting this pop up twice in a row.
Whether I put in a password or not, it continues to come up every 20 mins or so.
I cannot find what files it relates to, is there a way to do this?
It is driving me crazy and interrupting my work continuously as you can't put the pop up in the back ground.
Would love it if someone could help.

Hi,
Just wanted to update for people still having problems.
This was Synology drive client causing issues. I could not fix so deleted drive client from computer and redownloaded it.
Have not had any problems since.
Thanks for all the help.
Yes the instructions pages (linked) cover various means
to try and resolve issues in your system; including those
with older macOS (intel hardware) and Apple Silicon..
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

This has info about safe mode on Mac.
Take care & happy trails!

Perhaps the issue may be resolved through a macOS update; yet
that might have already been done, sometimes w/o happiness.
Which MacOS version does your MBk/Pro (M1 Pro, 2021) run now?
The 'system version number' may have seen an update: To a .1 level.
That model MacBook Pro might be on the Cusp of next level update.
Some might use a newer level, perhaps macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 or
macOS Sonoma 14.8.2 maybe not newest macOS Tahoe 26.1.
There may have been an update; or even a firmware version fix.
And a place to tell if something obvious/update exists, is here:
•Apple security releases - Apple Support
//support.apple.com/en-us/100100
Yet, hard to say, w/o more details along this line. ~ To know, does help!
'Helps' to provide basic information about your Kit; rather than guess.
See if this discussion can help: Finder wants to make changes popup after … - Apple Community.
Hi @ K Shaffer,
Thanks for your reply, it is appreciated.
My computer appears to be up to date with software, Tahoe 26.1. There are no other updates to install and all the auto background update tabs are on.
I have restarted the Mac without success.
If I start in safe mode, what am I looking for?
Thanks
Also, not sure if this helps locate the issue, but when the pop up come up, I cannot open anything on my desktop screen until I either enter password or delete the pop up (twice). Just has the spinning wheel.
Thanks!!
PS: this section within the above Support article, emphasizes more
behind scenes updates/upgrades which may've missed installation:
About background updates in macOS - Apple Support
//support.apple.com/en-us/101591
And to Restart the Mac; or Start-up in 'Safe' mode, is always an idea.
There may be some 'clutter' aside from an initial install, holding it back.
