Jonathan,
Thanks and I will save this information. I did another fresh install
of Ventura 13.6.6 but this time I did not use Migration Assistant. While
I was looking more closely at the Time Machine backup, I realized where
the trouble was. I will verify this another time but think Time Machine
by default will include other APFS volumes. Thus since I was not paying
attention, I had restored some data from a different volume.
Things are looking good now, still a bit of tweaking to do.

...Quick Tip:
Before following our manual recommendations, you should know about quicker
alternatives like devoted maintenance and optimization tools for Mac.
For instance, Intego Washing Machine is a great and easy-to-use option because
it has various system cleanup features that allow you to manage and remove
unwanted items from the “Open With” menu.

How to Remove Items from ‘Open With’ on macOS Using Terminal Command
Obviously, you don’t need two or more occurrences of the same app in the “Open
With” menu.
So, you need to remove the extras. To do so, you need to run the
lsregistercommand using Terminal.
This will rebuild the Launch Services database that maintains the list of apps
in the “Open With” menu.
Time needed: 2 minutes
To rebuild the Launch Services database and rid yourself of these duplicate
items in “Open With,” follow these instructions.
Launch Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
At the command line, issue the following command:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
After the command completes, the Launch Services database will be rebuilt.
However, Finder won’t be able to re-read the new database. So, you will need to
do a full reboot of your Mac.
Once your Mac is rebooted, you can log in and see if the extra items are gone
from the “Open With” dialog.
Final Words
Aside from running the lsregister Terminal command, there are also utilities that can help
you rebuild the Launch Services database. CleanOpenWith
<https://macdownload.informer.com/cleanopenwith/> and Onyx
<https://www.titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html> are two such tools and are both
available as free downloads. Any of these two tools may be a quicker and easier way of
getting rid of multiple occurrences of apps in the “Open With” context menu.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

Hello,
After having done a fresh Ventura installation and restored from a Time
Machine backup, I get the following dialog when attempting to open a document
in iCloud Drive.
"The document “Catch All.rtf” could not be opened. Try your operation again. If
that fails, quit and relaunch the application and try again."
Doesn't matter txt or rtf file type or application. Did some testing and think somehow
I have duplicate application entries that show up in the "open with" menu item.
Can someone tell me how I can remove these duplicates? Thanks much.
