macOS Mojave - System Preference, Security & Privacy, Accessibility - Not Working/Empty

Removing TCC.db also worked for me, thanks!

Some details:

After the deletion the problem persisted until I restarted the computer.

I have ESET Endpoint antivirus and previously granted it with some "control computer" permissions, maybe it's related, maybe not.

This worked for me, but only temporarily. After deleting the file and rebooting I am then able to add items to the security lists. However, as soon as I reboot again the issue returns and I have to delete the file again and reboot again.

Any other ideas on how to permanently fix this?

Your csrstatus is enabled or disabled? can you write all your steps to resolve this problem? thank y

How did you delete this? I've tried with sudo and from finder and it won't let me as it's a critical system file

ESET acknowledged and fixed this problem with version 6.7.600.0

Read the replies below. None is helpful. It shouldn't be this hard just to change the wallpaper. What happened to the systems preference window in Mojave? Just gone and no satisfactory explanations. Another case of an "upgrade" making life harder and more annoying.

I had the same problem as OP, and re-installing Mojave did not help. Before re-install...the problem spiraled (maybe this original problem, maybe a separate problem with the OS) where every time I restarted, things got a bit worse.

Long story short this fixed it for me! I was able to add Dropbox and Spectacle back to the list.

Also before Mojave re-install -

At one point below my login screen, I had a line that said "AHP_REQ_TO_ENABLE".

After a few restarts: bluetooth became permanently disabled, only one display worked at a time, and I could type but could not see what I was typing in Outlook or Word. None of these things was easy to google at first so I list them for another in the future. In retrospect, many of these seem to do with preference panel preferences being corrupted somehow.

Hello, I have exactly same issue, uninstalling ESET caused that now when I add something to Accessibility the list of allowed apps won't disappear BUT now every time when I add some app and restart my MAC after that I add something else to Accessibility the MAC freezes, like I can move cursor but I can't click on anything. It drives me crazy and nothing listed above didn't help.

That old fashioned opinion about Macs not needing AntiVirus is hogwash. We remove viruses from Macs all the time. https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac-software/mac-viruses-list-3668354/

The problem is that most antiV packages default to being too intrusive and thus people just go with the "I don't need it because an ad campaign from 20 years ago said Macs don't get viruses."

Just ran into the same problem this morning after noticing my Logitech MX Master 2S scroll wheel had stopped working. I'm sure it was working late last week but when I opened my new MacBook Pro (came pre-installed with Mojave about three weeks ago) this morning after it slept for the weekend, it took a reboot to get it started. Shortly thereafter I was scrolling through a web page and noticed the Logitech mouse's scroll wheel was not working. After googling around a bit, I wound up at the System Preferences/Security & Privacy dialog and was surprised to see the app list for Accessibility was empty. When I installed the Logitech Options software last week, it had me add itself to the Accessibility list (there were already a couple of other apps in that list) and everything seemed to work fine.

I'm running Mojave (10.14.3) and can't remember for sure whether there was a Mojave update installed last week.

I tried douglasb's steps 1 & 2 without success. Logged on as user (not administrator), Finder allowed me to click the /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC folder and pop up the Info panel. But the Security & Privacy dialog for Accessibility still showed a blank app list.

I then tried giving Read & Write access for the com.apple.TCC folder to everyone, but that didn't help. I'll try restarting the MacBook now to see if that makes any difference.

thanks a lot, by removing TCC.db , i solved accessibility list cant add new app，eg： alfred

Hi

how did you remove the file? I can’t change permissions- Finder keeps crashing since the latest Mojave update.

thanks
