Then run the command down below:

1
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents

1
launchctl load my.shim.catalina.captivenetworkassistant.plist

1
launchctl start my.shim.catalina.captivenetworkassistant

Restart the macOS, the issue should be solved 👌

If you want to remove this daemon:

1
cd ~/Library/LaunchAgents

1
launchctl stop my.shim.catalina.captivenetworkassistant

1
launchctl unload my.shim.catalina.captivenetworkassistant.plist

1
rm my.shim.catalina.captivenetworkassistant.plist

The post I reference says that this issue fixed on 10.15.1 update, but I still got this error on 11.2.3 😭
