boom3 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I use a Mac at home, and my partner is a Mac Fan Boy, which normally is good thing since it means I have built-in tech support. From time to time, I have noticed that Mac settings (not third party apps) shift without any apparent intervention from me. The Finder loses its Side Bar and/or Toolbar The Wallpaper shifts, and not just when a new OS is installed. Drives disappear from the sidebar without my ejecting them. We have all the security stuff in place and I run Clean My Mac frequently to purge system junk. When I show these problems to my tech support, he usually can't reproduce them and I get the distinct impression that I don't deserve to use a Mac. Any other Mac users experience these shifts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I bet it's the Clean My Mac app. It sees things you don't use often and pulls them. Check the settings for the app it may be in there. I use Onyx and perform manual cleanings weekly. I don't like apps that do things on their own. I like to initiate the work myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
