    Please follow the instructions in this support article. Instead of typing the shell command directed in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste it from the web page into the Terminal window. Make sure you select the whole line. One way to do that is by triple-clicking anywhere in the line.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You may have to log out or restart to see a change.

    No way. I followed this procedure, logged out and in again, it still doesn't work. This happens for every app in my system, the share icon doesn't work anymore and if I try to use it (i.e sharing web page via mail or with note or airdrop) the app himself crash and I have to force quit. Example: I try to share a safari web page via mail, I push the share icon, select mail, the icon turn grey but mail doesn't open; from that time I can not close the safari window, open new panel and only some option in the upper menu are still active. I can not understand and solve. It seems to be that something in the sharing task loops.
