Just accepted the update from 6.3.4 to the current 6.3.8 version. Now each time RW opens it is treated as a recently downloaded from the internet program and asks for the security confirmation to proceed. If you accept, nothing happens and RW does not open up as it did in 6.3.4. A further click is needed on the RW dock icon to fire it up. This loop is repeated each time RW starts up.

I downloaded 6.3.4 and replaced 6.3.8 with it, but now this behaviour is happening to 6.3.4 which was previously fine.

Anyone know what’s going on or how to fix this?

@webdeer

Gatekeeper issue?

Or… have you restarted your Mac and tried again?

Thanks Brad. I hadn’t restarted but doing so fixed the issue. I wasn’t aware that RW needed a restart after updating but I guess like most things, it is good practice.

Glad to hear it’s sorted out @webdeer, sometimes the best solution is a reboot to verify the problem 🙂
