I've run first aid - still crashes

Hi,


You've done an excellent job troubleshooting this problem. Here are some more things you can try:


  • Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.
  • Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.
  • Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.
  • If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
  • Diagnose problems with your Mac to learn whether hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.
  • Worst case scenario - Reinstall macOS. It reinstalls the operating system and leaves everything else alone. I believe it will reinstall the app store and other built-in apps as well.
