Since updating to Ventura I've had a strange issue with some hidden partitions on my System Drive.
Whenever I unmount the EFI partition I'm greeted with the error message shown below.
The partitions "VM, Preboot & Update" all throw the same error and I must "force eject" them to move forward.
What the heck is going on and how can I prevent/clear this?

Otherwise Venture is running just fine. I'm on 13.0.1 and O.C. 0.8.6

Thanks in Advance for any help.

I am getting the same error
Me, too. It requires me to click the "Cancel" button a few more times, but doesn't bother me much as I'm not constantly mounting/unmounting my EFI folder now that everything works.
 
Same error
 
Any Solution? still having this issue
 
I tried a clean install and still the same issue
 
@devinci @Rajkhand "Ejecting" a EFI partition of Ventura installed drive in macOS Ventura will cause this to happen. To avoid having those popups, you can "unmount" EFI partition in terminal or script using below command.

Code:
diskutil unmount /Volumes/EFI

Alternatively, you can build a "Quick Action" to unmount EFI partition using the macOS built-in Automator app, then assign a shortcut to it as shown below.

For your convenience, I've attached file for the above example.

1. Place the file in ~/Library/Services.
2. Go to System Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folder.
3. Assign a shortcut.
4. Unmount EFI using shortcut or from the context menu.
