Force Quit/Relaunch the Finder on the fly
From the icon on the far left of the Dock, hold the Control Option keys and click open Finder>Relaunch
if no resolve Reboot the Mac—
Log out, sleep, wake, restart or shut down your Mac
Shut down or restart your Mac - Apple Support
if you still have an issue reboot into Safeboot mode

Takes a bit longer to get to the login screen, does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
