Try a SafeBoot  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-10 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.


You can try and log into the trouble account and test. Reboot as normal and test.


If no success Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379




Was this using the Migration Assistant or the Setup Assistant on a new machine. please advise

Tried to boot in Safe Mode but did not get “Safe Mode” on login screen. Tried a couple of times but still no notice on login.


Went ahead and tried to login to the offending user name. Voila, login started immediately.


The last time I tried to login, before my original post, I did let it run for 15 or 20 minutes so maybe that allowed the items you mentioned to repair?


Thanks for your response!
