Safari no longer loading after latest update. So I updated my MacOS the other day to Monterey 12.6.2 and I noticed that along with that update there was also an update to Safari. However, since updating I have not been able to open Safari at all. Once I click on it to open it simply bounces a couple of times in the dock and then nothing. In Finder it does show that it has been opened but there is nothing visible. It's driving me mad!! Any ideas?

Can't open safari on my older mac Safari will no longer open on my older desktop computer. My computer seems too old to update safari. This is a situation that has progressively gotten worse. Before, it was difficult and long to open Safari but eventually opened. This morning it won't open at all and force quit will not close it from the finder.

I understand after updating your Mac, Safari refuses to open.

First, restart your Mac in "Safe Mode" and determine if you can launch Safari: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.

If it still won't, work, Reinstall macOS - Apple Support.
