Whenever I click on a document in finder, it doesnt seem to interact.

I tried trackpad and even mouse but everytime i click on it, it doesn't seem to work

I restarted my MacBook Air several times, relaunched Finder many times and it still didn't work!

What do I do to resolve this issue?

(this is original and this is the source of the question)

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Does the same issue present when booting into Safe Mode ?


Safe mode may help you resolve or isolate problems that you’re having with your Mac.

When you start up in safe mode, your Mac prevents some software, such as startup items, from loading, and it performs a check of your startup disk. Your Mac may take longer to start up because of the check.
