System preferences quits unexpectedly

Try booting into Safe Boot Mode (holding down SHIFT key at power on) and see if it opens up there. If so, restart your MacBook Pro normally and see if that fixed the problem.

If it doesn't open even in Safe Boot Mode or if the problem persists when booted up normally you'll want to boot into recovery mode (COMMAND-R keys at power on) and select "Re-install". This won't affect your data, settings, or programs but should fix the issue.

Try rebuilding your System Preferences preference file:

From your Finder "Go" menu > "Go to folder" then copy & paste this file path:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

Click Go.

Delete the plist file.

Then, restart, or log out and in again.

(You may have to reset some preferences the way you like them)
