QuickTime opens Application folder when launched
I have Mac OS 10.14.6 and QuickTime v10.5
I would like to perform a screen recording.
When I launch QuickTime it opens the Application folder. All applications, including QuickTime are grayed out. I click cancel. QuickTime's record button is grayed out and doesn't respond.
I have restarted my computer without results.
What's going on???
