Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


If that doesn't help try deleting or moving this file...


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist


~ tilde indicates  your user library folder

Apple hid the Users' Library folders...


Method 1:

  1. From the Finder, select the Go menu at top of the screen, and choose Go to Folder.
  2. In the window that opens, enter ~/Library, and click Go.

Or…

 Use the Command-Shift-. toggle in Finder to show or to hide hidden files and folders
