Finder 11.1 not reacting on macOS BigSur 11.2

Finder 11.1 was suddenly not reacting on macOS BigSur 11.2.

Together with it Numbers and Preview Apps also did not work and had to be stopped eventually by force.

I have also noticed that only one account (out of four) had this issue. Other 3 did work just fine and had none of described issues.

After spending a couple of hours on this problem and trying to implement couple of solutions: https://blog.pcrisk.com/mac/13288-finder-not-working-on-mac I have discovered the solution which has worked for me. Therefore I want to share it here.

I simply had logged off with my Apple ID account from macOS user account I use by using System preferences app.

As soon as I have had completed this procedure Finder app started to work properly.

Soon after that I have again logged in at my Apple ID account and everything just kept working fine.
