Photos menu in double
Hy,
Since my last macOS 10.3.3 reboot, Photos menu items are displayed in double (cf attached picture)
Any one has an idea how to fix this?
I tried to reboot but it doesn't fix anything

Test, if you are also seeing duplicate albums, if you create a new library for testing. See: Create additional libraries
- If a new library is not showing any deplete albums, repair your current library: See: Repair the library
- If a new library is also showing duplicates, I would remove the Photos preferences:
To delete the Photos preferences files:
- Quit Photos, if it is running.
- Open your user library in your home folder.
Delete the complete folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/ and restart the Mac, then try again.Your user library may still be hidden.
- To reveal the hidden User Library:
- Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
- Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
- With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
- In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder, if it is still hidden.
- Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
Move the complete folder ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.
- While you are about it, delete also ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Photos.plist
Restart the Mac and try again.
After you deleted the ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/ and preferences, Photos will not remember the location of the library and the preferences you set. You will have to set them again, and hopefully it will stick this time.
