LaunchPad problems

After upgrading to macOS Catalina, the launchpad will randomly lose icons or display icon names wrongly after I try to move icons.

Hello LangZhou,

I understand from your post that after upgrading to Catalina the launchpad icons disappear or are renamed wrongly. I am happy to help.

Let's try an SMC reset.

You may also want to try an NVRAM reset.

If you're still experiencing the issue after performing the above tasks, then let's try Safe Mode.

Let us know if that resolves this issue for you.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Take care.
