Opens Finder extensions on start up

Hi there 😊

I have a problem on my MBP 15" from 2018.

Every time I start up, it shows Finder extensions in system prefs.


It does not show in Login items, I have tried to restart with resetting PRAM, did not help.

Anyone else with this problem?


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Did you close System Preferences before restarting?

Try restarting in Safe Mode. Does it appear?

Restart normally again. Does it appear?

Maybe there is a launch agent or user launch agent causing this.

If that is the case, run Etrecheck and post its report here.

Kernel panics - This system has experienced kernel panics. This could be a sign of hardware failure


This could be the Internal Drive, the LogicBoard, or any component in the computer


Some application may appear on the User Account >> Login Items ( 7 ) but the remainder are loading behind the scenes like Printer or Scanner Drivers, Spotify, Skype, AppCleaner and the list is there in above for the user to determine the additional Application that are Reported to be Loading when the computer first start.
