  • macOS Finder misbehaving, unresponsive, crashing

This occasionally happens after upgrade. The behavior has been observed in macOS High Sierra and, earlier, in OS X Yosemite 10.10x series.

Solution: On Finder, press Command+Shift+G and go to

~/Library/Preferences/

Locate the file “com.apple.finder.plist” and delete it.

_

The alternative is to delete the file from the commandline or Terminal:

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

Reboot the machine afterwards. Or from the commandline:

sudo shutdown -r now "Restarting Now"
