Hi all,
Strangely, when I attempt to, say, save a page to my desktop, a blue systems folder appears separately, for some strange reason, with the new, saved document.
I have no idea why this is happening, nor do I know how to stop this from happening.
I've tried going into Finder to drop the folder there--without much luck. Every time I open a destination file, the blue folder disappears and, strangely, ends up in the opened location. While this looks as though the problem is solved, not so quick. Upon closing the location, the file "jumps out" of the location, only to end up back on the desktop.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Never heard anything quite like it.
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.
unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
