Might be corrupted preferences ...

Open the Finder.

From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

Then copy and paste the following:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Click Go then move com.apple.systempreferencs.plist file to the Trash.

Restart your Mac then check System Preferences.
