System Preferences Error

What is causing my iMac to suddenly show this Error Message? "Could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane." I was trying to open this pane because my desktop photo changed overnight and I don't recall changing anything on my Mac.

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

Boot into Safe Mode and try changing the preferences from there. Reboot normally and see if the changes stick.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
