Reset launch services

What is the terminal script to reset launch services in high sierra. I have Yasu for Mac but it stalls when running reset launch services forcing me to quit the program.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Try this...


Open Terminal and run each of these one at a time


/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user


sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -kill -seed -lint -r -f -v -dump -domain local -domain system -domain user -domain network


killall Dock
