Could you explain a little better - when you say you can't open Finder - does that mean you can't see your desktop? Or can't open a window in Finder or ?

Hi Marius,

there are various threads which take care of the topic, e.g. here:

Easiest is to restart the finder.

Press Command-Option-ESC at the same time

In the appearing window click on finder

Click on restart

For Germans:

Befehl-Wahl-Esc

Auf Finder klicken

Rechts unten sofort beenden klicken

Der Finder wird danach neu gestartet alle Fenster sollten wieder da sein
