After upgrading to macOS Sierra (version 10.12), I frequently get the following error when using different applications like Adobe Acrobat, XtraFinder, Microsoft Office, etc. Any ideas why this is happening?
Internal Error
An uncaught exception was raised…

Just had the same problem, turned out to be an incompatible Accessiblity extension, e.g. go into Preferences, Security & Privacy > Accessiblity section. Most likely there is an extension which causes the issue.
I disabled all of them and removed unnecessary ones (e.g. Dropbox).
