I have a new 2020 MacBook Air I am setting up and it began showing âno available windowsâ. I was cleaning up the dock and removing icons I wouldnât use often. Help!
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15
This is normal when you invoke Mission Control while there are NO Open application/windows (function key F3)
What version of MacOS is your MacBook Pro running? Is the message random, or does it appear at specific times?
Itâs a new MacBook Air 128gb MdlA1932. I just got it and was setting it up when this began to happen. Anything I try to open comes up with No Available Windows.
Itâs is 10.15
Yes it was 10.15.3 that downloaded last night. Since I canât open anything I wasnât positive until you mentioned it.
next?
Good call, since I don't use Mission Control..!đťâď¸
Great work, keep it up! :)
You may have to reinstall the macOS to restore whatever was broken, in process
of removing system & dock icons. ~ Also there are processes to follow to change
a system default; some stuff is best left alone/ignored, when it's system-owned.

I tried as you suggested but all I got was No Available Windows. When I was arranging the dock I had removed Podcast and TV as I know I would not use them. Thatâs when this began.
An update did occur last night to 10.5.3?
There was fairly recent (Jan 28 2020) Combo Update Catalina 10.15.3

This says it updates all Catalina 10.15 versions, to 10.15.13; its larger file.
Should be final; may've had seen minor tweaks since its release Jan 28.
Smaller 'Delta' Download macOS Catalina 10.15.3 Update (2.99 GB) exists
Cannot help wonder if Catalina's needed items were deleted, or not installed..
I've no Catalina versions in Macs here; only High Sierra 10.13.6+Mojave 10.14.6.
No available windows
