Finder Menu options are grayed out including "Share, Edit Tags, Quick Look, Delete.

I've done a few of the fixes but at this point, I can get QL if I right-click on the file in Finder and use the drop-down menu. But a few of my Finder Menu options are grayed out including "Share, Edit Tags, Quick Look, Delete. Everything else works. Anyone else seeing this<

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
