UPGRADED TO VENTURA, FOLDERS GREYED OUT SOMETIMES BUT STILL WORK, NOT ON A NETWORK?
This started ever since the upgrade to Ventura, its annoying, sometimes they are greyed out but still work, other times they are greyed out and don't work, to rectify i come out of finder and go back in, anyone got any ideas?
No need for all caps...more details would be beneficial however
You can try relaunching the Finder on the fly:
>Force Quit>Finder>Relaunch and compare your results.
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
note—
third-party sync software like: OneDrive, GoogleDrive, BackBlaze or DropBox are known to cause some issue
disconnect all third party peripherals that are not mission critical.
ie unplug all third party peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
