Q: Siri won't start on macOS Sierra
I recently upgraded to macOS Sierra (public release) and everything seems fine, with the exception of enabling Siri. I have tried to enable it from the System Preferences as well as running the Siri App from the Application folder. I have even tried "enabling" it by selecting it from the menu bar.
In all cases it won't start. When enabling from the System Preferences I get "There was an error in Siri preferences." and it returns me to the System Preferences main view.
Is there any log files that I should be reviewing to determine what is causing this problem?
Thanks,
Steve

My case was caused by a cyclance (virus protection) rule that prevented Siri from running. Once IT fixed the rule, it is now working.
