macos big sur destop item problems

Since I have been upgrading to MacOS Big Sur, There is always the same problem:


  1. Trying to delete or rename desktop items but it does not respond.
  2. Moving an item form desktop to another folders does not respond.
  3. Secreenshots does not appear after intervals.


After restart or log out/in it reacts.


With the second update it was solved but it repeats again with 11.2.2.


I have been using MacOs since 2005 with Leopard but i have never faced such an issue before with the previous versions.


Big Sur is the most problematic one i use. Does anyone have the same problems too?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Try restarting your Mac in site Safe Mode. Press the Shift key on restart. The process can take up to ten minutes, so be patient. During the process, the Mac is cleaning its caches and doing OS repairs. Then restart normally and see if that helped.
