What does the Question Mark Folder mean?

Why does the question mark come up? What can I do to prevent it from happening again?

That is a question which may be difficult to answer. If you used Disk Utility, and either reinstalled macOS, or restored from Time Machine, you do have the option of contacting Support with the link on the referenced Support Article.


Have you ever attempted to use Safe Mode? That may clear some faulty cache files which exist on your HD.


If you are familiar with Etrecheck, you could download/install/run that application, and post the report to this thread.
