OSX Freezing when accessing Network Preferences

· One min read

This usually happens, when some of the OSX settings become corrupted. OSX can regenerate new settings, which should resolve your problem. Follow the settings below:

  1. Open Finder
  2. Navigate to your hard****drive
  3. Go to /Library/Prefences
  4. Drag System****Configuration folder to Trash
  5. Now openNetworkPreferences, the System Configuration folder should reappear and OSX should not freeze.

If the above doesn’t work then delete these files:

Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist
