How to stop 'ODDIExperimentationExtension' warning after macOS 26.1 update on iMac?

I "upgraded" to OS 26.1 yesterday afternoon and I've gotten this warning several times already this morning.


Warning! "ODDIExperimentationExtension" differs from previously...


I closed all apps and it remains. I've never had any such extension I'm aware of or anything with that name.

This shouldn't happen to begin with... so, how do I make it stop?

The google search ai returns—

ODD Experimentation Extension is a component of Apple's internal developer tools used for measuring and analyzing app performance and power consumption. The "ODD" likely stands for "On Demand Diagnostics



It seems a bug in the new interface.


I would just "Open anyway" if it continues, and compare your results.
