After updating to Ventura 13.1 half my non-apple apps won't open?

After an issue with 13.2 and file sharing which I could not solve over 2 days I reverted to 13.1 and now have another issue which has me banging my head against the wall. About half my non-Apple apps will not open. When trying one I get the '_____ quit unexpectedly' dialog window in which I am asked if I want to reopen, report, or ignore.

Reboots for First Aid, clearing caches, etc. have had no effect.

Any insights/help?

iMac 24″, macOS 12.5

Effin' Rosetta. For some reason/bug when I restored from TimeMachine Rosetta needed to be installed.

But the first time I tried to open an app needing Rosetta I was NOT informed about it - just got the 'quit unexpectedly'. Hence all this confusion.

What I did was clean install of 13.1, no TimeMachine mucking about / How I discovered the fix.

Opened an app previously quitting unexpectedly.

Got the Rosetta notice.

Had the 'Ah-HA!' moment.

Went back and restored from TimeMachine.

Started an app and it quit unexpectedly.

Installed Rosetta via Terminal.

All is good!

From what system did you update from? Also, Ventura 13.2 was released a couple of days ago. Install it and see if the problem persists.

As stated, I already had 13.2 installed.

To be clear, that app that gave me the inspiration was indeed a fresh download and not to do with Timemachine.
