I recently restarted my computer and now I can't open Chrome. I get this alert when I attempt to. I have updated my OS to Big Sur 11.6.6 and checked my permissions. It is my computer and I am the Admin. Can anyone help me?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
