Check Finder Preferences. See if AirDrop is enabled in the sidebar. If it is, toggle it and try again.

Restart your Mac, and see if that clears this.

Restart into Safe Mode, and try again. This rebuilds caches, and disables some common add-ons.

If that doesn’t work, post again, and I’ll post some info for retrieving and posting the system config.
