I'm trying to open Finder, but every time I try I get this error message:

I've tried restarting my Macbook Pro as well as doing a "Relaunch" from "Force Quit Applications":

However, nothing happens when I try to force-quit the application, so I'm 'stuck' with a non-responsive Finder. How can I fix this?

  • Try booting in Safe Mode. If it's still the same, overlay the OS from Recovery [data should remain untouched]

  • You could also try applying the combo update installer from Apple of the version of macOS that you ALREADY have. So if you have 10.14.5. Do a search for "Combo update macos 10.14.5." and download it from Apple Support and install it. Combo updates often solve a multitude of issues.
