Screenshot of PolicyKit1 asking for permission

SUMMARY

After any of the recent updates, every time I want to shut down my pc, hibernate or similar, I get a message that system policies prevent editing custom network settings. I have attached a screenshot for this. Why does this happen, what could have caused it, and how do I fix it?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try setting your PC into hibbernate mode, or shut it down, or wake your pc up
2. Get the dialog as shown in my attachment

OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog keeps asking for my password

EXPECTED RESULT
No dialog negging me every now and then

Seems like a configuration or packaging issue; moving to Neon.

Are there any news? I thought it was gone for a while after an update but got it again today and it's a bit frustrating

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
