Finder – How to Launch and Quit Finder After Booting

findermacbook promacosmojave

I've started noticing that, after booting and launching all app that was on at the time of shut down, finder simply quit after ~10 sec and I have to turn it on manually. I didn't recall this issue before Mojave (but maybe it was already like that, I barely turn off my laptop – just closing it).

It doesn't seems to crash as there is no warning like "finder quit unexpectedly" or anything…

When opening console after finder quit, this output appear :

[ApplicationManager statusChangedForApplication:] | In status changed, finder quit, calling to get number of foreground apps

Disk utility check says everything's fine, and I just did a clean install as my MBP crashed during last update.

What could be the cause of Finder quitting after launching all app ?

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017) version 10.14.4 (18E226)

EDIT :

I find out that when I open pCloud, Finder quit (but still not crash)

Console output :

[GUIApplicationLogout loadProccessesToQuitArray] | Checking app: pCloudFinderExt

Have you tried logging out & unticking the "Reopen windows when logging back in" option?

Else you may have corrupted user Caches/Saved Application States.. you could try removing the content of these folders & rebooting:

~/Library/Caches

~/Library/Saved Application States
