Any add-on cleaner or optimizer apps, or any add-on anti-malware or anti-virus apps installed? If so, remove those per the vendor instructions, reboot, and try again.


If that's not the cause, download and run and post the hardware and software configuration report from the EtreCheck tool here. When you open the reply here, press the highlighted button to get a text input box large enough to post the complete EtreCheck report here.


The EtreCheck tool will generate the configuration report, and will try to filter out any personal information or details from the generated configuration report for posting here in the forums.
