I had a protracted name with Apple Assist yesterday. They really helpful un-checking the “Mechanically rearrange Areas based mostly on most up-to-date use” (#1 under) and checking the “Shows have separate Areas” (Quantity 2 under) underneath the Mission Management within the System Preferences.
Under is a screenshot of what I’ve carried out by following their advise.
There may be one other potential answer that entails creating a brand new consumer, from this publish, but it surely sounds a bit doubtful to me:
Seems to be like I’ve a repair, after 1h name with help and a few experimenting.

Choice with new consumer is nor actually good for me, because it means one other onboarding course of with my company, means new machine ID, certificates, blahblah.
Step 2: shut down Mac, ten faucet and maintain energy button for Startup choices, select choices -> disk utility, and test Macintosh HD for errors -> “well being test”. For me, it did not discover something.
Step 3: (being logged into your consumer) Finder -> Go-> Library -> LaunchAgents, delete every part inside, not the folder itself.
Step 4: go to Macintosh HD -> Library -> LaunchDaemons, delete every part inside, not the folder itself.
Restart Mac.
