The Application "Finder.app" can't be opened. - 609

Hi guys,


I have problem with my macbook pro 2017 running on macos Monterey the latest update.

I haven't done anything unusual. This error keeps appearing when I try to open finder, download folder in dock, and some other like trash bin. They won't open, but instead this message pop up.


Can anyone please help me solve it?


Note: I have tried to reinstall a new copy of macos using cmd+R 2 times, but it didn't work.

I read the forum, and they said all error can be done with clean install macos, but I don't want to do it now if there is any other ways that can solve this issue.


I do really appreciate your help guys.

Windows, Windows 10

Hello nsereivatana,


We would like to see how we can help you with Finder not opening as expected. Simply using safe mode may resolve this issue. What we need to do is see if the problem persists during safe mode. Here are the steps we’ll need to take to do so: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support


After the device boots into safe mode, try to reproduce the problem. Knowing whether or not the problem persists in safe mode will provide valuable insight as to how deep the problem may be rooted. Get back to us with your results and we can go from there.


Cheers!
