You are welcome.


Whatelse to Try:


  • Single-Out this Computer:

See if you get this issue, when you perform the same on a different computer.


  • Single-Out this User:

See what happens when you create another administrator.


  • Boot in Safe Mode:

[Hold Down the shift key upon boot]. In Safe Mode, Login Items do wont open at login; certain System Preferences are set aside; and damaged system files (i.e. caches) are intentionally fixed.
