App Store goes unresponsive after switching user back and forth macOS Catalina.

Hi,

After changing user , the app store goes unresponsive.

Its not frequent , but most of the time.


The only solution is force kill and reboot.


Any idea ?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Try resetting SMC and NVRAM and then boot into Safe Mode by starting up holding Command S. It's a long boot because macOS does some maintenance under the hood and can solve some problems. It does things like deleting cache files, reorganizing boot structures, etc.


Also try logging off of your iCloud account on the Mac and logging back in.
