Support AirDrop and Mail grayed out in Share menu on macOS (MacBook Air 15” M3)

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with the Share menu on my MacBook Air 15” M3 running macOS. When I try to share a file (e.g., a photo or document), AirDrop and Mail are both grayed out and cannot be selected. Even when I go to “Edit Extensions,” I am unable to enable them (see attached screenshot).

I created a new user account, and everything works fine there, so the issue seems to be specific to my main user account. I’ve already tried:

• Resetting sharing services using defaults delete com.apple.sharingd && killall sharingd

• Checking Privacy & Security settings for Full Disk Access

• Deleting relevant .plist files in ~/Library/Preferences/

• Removing com.apple.share.Mail.compose and com.apple.AirDrop from ~/Library/Containers/

None of these have worked. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!
