Several users commented on a slight slowdown The new MacOS Ventura’s due to a background process that happens when the CPU starts scanning the photos we have saved in our memory. The slowness of the Mac can be very important, but for example, the cleanups don’t work.

Despite dismissed as a silent analysis where the operating system is “spying” on you It has been confirmed that high CPU usage exists, so to speak, and this can directly affect your Macbook. Next, we’ll show you how to fix it easily.

First, you need to disable System Integrity Protection on macOS.

Hthere are some additional steps to take before deleting the file which causes the background process to run. The first thing is to disable SIP, which involves restarting your Mac in recovery mode. But before that, keep in mind a caveat from Apple itself.

Apple recommends disabling System Integrity Protection only temporarily and re-enabling it as soon as possible. The company also says it can leave your computer “vulnerable to malicious code.”

But to avoid problems, we leave you with the post where Apple mentions instructions for disabling this.

This is what the configuration screen looks like when you access it.

Now yes, it’s time to remove or disable com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist

For this process to disappear completely, you need to do it directly from the Apple Terminal (Apple explains how to access it here). Note that on macOS you must first disable System Integrity Protection.. Now follow these steps:

• While in Terminal, type: sudo rm -R /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist
• Hit ‘Return’ and then restart your Mac.

Apple’s com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist file is the Launch Services installer file that tells macOS where to find the mediaanalysisd binary and how to launch it. When you delete com.apple.mediaanalysisd.plist, macOS will no longer launch it on startup or intermittently.

Attention sometimes Apple recreates this file because he believes it could be vital to the operating system. But you can disable its autoconfiguration like this:

• Open Apple Terminal
• Type com.apple.mediaanalysisd.photos
• You will see that its default value is ‘YES’ so now you will need to change it to ‘NO’.
• Restart your Mac and it should be no longer a problem.

However, keep in mind that changing this setting will disable some macOS features, such as Spotlight indexing and text selection in Photos and Preview.

You will have more options that we recommend not to touch., because although it has to do with the photo, video and Spotlight section, it is not very clear what the function of each is. Now that you have access to the end, we also want to talk about how to enable Mac’s hidden settings for better performance.
