Missing title error in System Settings after Mac migration

I recently migrated all data from one MacBook to another using Migration Assistant. Everything went well and my new MacBook has all the files from the old one. However, I've noticed that in System Settings on the new MacBook there is a "missing_title" call out. I don't know what this error message refers to. I've tried several times to reboot the Mac with no resolution. I've also reinstalled the Mac iOS, but the error is still on my computer. It doesn't seem to affect the use of the Mac, but I've like to know what the error is and how I can remove it. Anyone have a solution?

Disk repair and reboot doesn’t work. Neither does starting in Safe Mode. See attached link for reference image. Any other suggestions?

I see it now— if it were me I would simply wait for a point update to sort the glitch:




You can Update your software—

>System Settings>General>Software Update


The current stable release of Sequoia  including bug fixes,  security updates  is macOS 15.1

what macOS ?


Maybe a screen shot would help elucidate where exactly this is presented and when...



in the mean time—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies


Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.


Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
