Click to add internet account does not work

Good afternoon!


I'm running Catalina 10.15.7 and when I try to add an internet account, nothing happens. I click and internet account and nothing happens. Crickets. No error, no pop-up, no "do not pass go, do not collect $200." Like a bad spouse, the program is 100% unresponsive. Any help would be rad!

Boot in Safe Mode:

[Hold Down: shift key, upon boot], In Safe ModeLogin Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait for 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another connection. You can also, try adding this eMail account while in Safe Mode.
