cannot access locked notes on my macbook pro

My macbook is up-to-date with Monterey 12.6.8. I have attempted to open locked notes and I am given an error message that I need to update to the latest software. I am updated. I can still access these locked notes on my iPhone 14 and iPad. Is there a known bug or solution to this problem?

why can't I see my locked notes on my Macbook Pro's Notes App? I was always able to see my locked notes on my iPhone's Notes App and on my Macbook Pro's Notes App. But roughly a week ago, I got a error message pushed to my iPhone's Notes App saying something about the "lock" functionality on the Notes App, and starting then I can't see my locked Notes on my Macbook Pro. One way to get around this is to remove the lock on my notes. Then it will start show up on my Macbook Pro. But can't there be a way to see locked notes on Macbook Pro just like before? I just want to get back to what it was like before...

Locked notes no longer supported on Mac My locked notes are no longer visible since the new software update. Does anyone have a solution? I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

Locked notes not accessible on macOS I recently updated to iOS 16, and when I opened Notes it prompted me about the new feature that lets the password be whatever the device password is. I changed it to this, and it works fine on my phone. On my Mac Mini (M1, Monterey 12.6), the notes show up but will not let me unlock them. They just say “Unsupported Note. This note uses unsupported features. To view or edit it, upgrade to the latest version of macOS.” I have checked if I need to update my system and my Notes app, but both of them are up to date. I read “https://support.apple.com/guide/notes/lock-your-notes-not28c5f5468/mac,” but I still cannot upgrade my Notes (that I know of.) Is there a way to fix this?
