Fusion Pro 13 Hanging on startup

[JoSchu72]

I have a Macbook Pro 2019 Intel 8Core i9 with 32GB RAM.
Ventura 13.4.1 and Fusion Pro 13 

It looks like this has been reported in some other threads in this forum with older versions of fusion.
I want to bring it up as this topic seems to be unsolved since years.

Until yesterday all worked fine. Since today I cannot start Fusion at all. I did already an uninstall as I found in forum and I started fusion and will wait until tomorrow for it to come back. Error report attached.

Is there someone you knows howe to solve this issue ? Help highly appreciated 

regards,

Jochen

That's unusual on machines that aren't running Open Core (which has known issues)

Did you run any system cleaner/optimizer type software?

I've seen a few of this kind of issue over the years. I'm beginning to wonder if Gatekeeper checks of the application performed by macOS could be the problem. There's an interesting article by Howard Oakley https://eclecticlight.co/2023/03/09/how-does-ventura-check-an-apps-security/ that describes how application security checks seem to be done. 

I wonder if something network related - where the whole Gatekeeper process does want to connect to Apple services to verify notarization and the code signing certificate could be part of the problem. Both of these processes want to connect to Apple cloud services.

Thanks I will check. To be honest I m a apple enduser and cannot read the logs.
But as in the previous blogs. When I came back today ( I started it yesterday evening ), Fusion was waiting for me, so I lost only one day.

I added a screenshot of the launch statistics. It kept switching between  9 and 10 threads, so I thought there is an endless loop somewhere in the process. But somehow there was something which stopped it I have no clue what it was ..

I will check the article thanks for investigation colleagues ...
