Dock will not load
On MacBook Pro (16 inch, 2019), MacOS Catalina 10.15.2, Dock won't load. When I first started using this MacBook the dock always loaded. Now it never loads.
Is there a fix?

It worked a few times and now it's intermittent. Sometimes it works on the first try. Now this morning I have to stay in safe mode just to have the dock. When I reboot out of safe mode then the dock is gone again. I shouldn't have to keep re-booting this new computer every time I want to use it.
Safe mode stops certain peripherals and software running. Look back and see what you may have installed.
Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes
Ditto with app Etrecheck and paste the report here
Started in Safe Mode.
Then cleared out the Login Items within Users & Groups. Then
Within Finder opened the folder Library/LaunchAgents and removed 5 files that were there.
Rebooted into normal mode and emptied the trash.
It works as advertised now.
Okay, it started again this morning with only one .plist file in the LaunchAgents folder. This file shows up each time I reboot. It is
from the HP printer. So I will try removing the printer driver and see what happens. I will run the Etrecheck later this morning. Malwarebytes scan said no issues.
Shut down then boot up with Shift key held down throughout the boot cycle. That puts you in Safe Boot mode and many caches etc are reset.
Then restart as normal.
Come back if not fixed.
It worked. Thank you!!
Good work. So to recap, you just emptied every file in LaunchAgents, or did you target the five files based on some other info?
