full disk access and/or accessibility tables in settings blank

On both an intel-based imac and an M1 MacBook Pro I am periodically losing all entries in the full disk access and/or accessibility tables in the settings app.

I am then unable to add apps to the relevant table(s).

This I have been seeing since upgrading to Ventura. I am currently at 13.1.

This makes my Macs virtually unusable.

When this last happened I had to rebuild my M1 Mac by starting with a brand new installation followed by a migration (even a normal recovery did not work).

Help please.

Sounds weird. ...have you used any 3rd party virus apps (Avast, Bitdefender, Intego, MacAfee, Norton, ESET NOD32 etc) and 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" apps (CleanMyMac, MacKeeper etc). They produce only obscure errors and money loss.
