Grey Finder Windows

My Finder isn't working. Either I can't get any Finder windows to appear at all, or they are grey with the spinning wheel (of death?)


This happened since upgrading to Ventura 3.2.1 on my MacBook 14" 2021.


I've used the 'force quit' box to relaunch the FInder and I've restarted the computer — each several times and I get one or the other result.


Help!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.2

no insight or resolve—

You can reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS
