When I open a finder window others disappear!

I applied the Mojave security update (10.14.6) this morning, and now when I click in a Finder window, other windows disappear!


The apps are still open and when I click them in the dock they come back, but this is really annoying.


Any suggestions?

Hello, malayTIm.


Reboot your computer and see if the problem goes away.


If that doesn't fix the issue, see if the problem still happens in Safe mode (hold the shift key down at startup). It takes longer to safe boot so be patient.

Does the problem persist while in Safe mode? 

Exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally and re-evaluate the issue again after a normal reboot.
