Q: System Information App - "System" Won't Display Size

Sierra will not show the size of my System. Instead, all I see is an indefinite spinning wheel. Restarting my iMac does not resolve the issue.

Solution, anyone?

Thanks.

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12)

System size appears for other users. Why doesn't it show for the administrator?

I've been having the same issue; even after letting it run for hours. Restarted and made sure other applications were off and that I was not connected to iCloud.......still the spinning icon. Works fine on my brothers notebook.
Using early 2011 MacBook Pro with all software updated (OS 10.12).

In my case, sometimes it shows the stats for system and sometimes it just spins its twirly gig (forever). No obvious pattern. Weird.
