Backup the computer.


Close all windows and quit all applications.

Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.

Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.

Look for this file.

com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Right click on it and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.

Restart the computer.
