#MAC SYSTEM PREFERENCES NOT RESPONDING PRO#
I am on a Macbook Pro 13 inch 2016 with touchbar, running macOS High Sierra When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. The problem is that I don't know of any programs that I'm running that do this. I looked online, and all of the solutions say that there is some kind of program running that captures/forwards mouse clicks and such, and thus I am not "directly" clicking on the Allow button. When I click on it, nothing happens, and the button and message stays there.
#MAC SYSTEM PREFERENCES NOT RESPONDING INSTALL#
I am trying to install some software, (at this particular moment I want to install VirtualBox, although this issue has happened with other software), and I have to click "Allow" in System Preferences, in the Security & Privacy -> General window.
