Q: Share options missed.

I have share options missed. And not just after upgrade to El Capitan. I don't have any third party extensions like Evernote. When I try to share-mail a file I have the Finder locked. I need to Force restart the Finder to get of this stupid situation. Just updated my system to 10.11.4. Nothing has changed. Who can help me? The solution in If Share options or Markup is missing after upgrading to OS X Yosemite or El Capitan - Apple Support  does not work.

 

MacBook Air, Other OS, El Capitan

    Might be a corrupt .plist.

     

    Do a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

     

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.

     

    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.

     

    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
