If you’re facing a problem similar to what others have reported, you’re not alone. Recently, I updated my Mac to macOS Sequoia 15.6, and after the update, I noticed that Apple Intelligence, which I had previously turned off, was turned back on automatically. My goal was to disable it again, but I ran into some trouble.
When I went to the System Settings to turn off Apple Intelligence, I couldn’t find any options or settings related to it. It was all missing, which was different from before the update. This made it hard to turn it off as I intended.
To troubleshoot this, I tried the usual fixes that often help with such issues. I restarted my Mac in Safe Mode and then turned it back on several times. Unfortunately, these steps didn’t solve the problem.
Sometimes, when I attempted to access the settings pane, I received an error message saying, “Extension process Siri(2388) exited.” This error appeared randomly and added to the frustration, making me think there might be a glitch caused by the latest update.
If you’re struggling with the same issue, here’s what you can try:
- Restart Your Mac Multiple Times: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix glitches caused by updates.
- Boot into Safe Mode: Turn off your Mac, then turn it back on while holding the Shift key. This can help clear some system conflicts. After that, restart normally.
- Check for Additional Updates: Sometimes, Apple releases patches after major updates. Go to System Settings > Software Update to see if there’s a fix.
- Reset Settings: If options are missing, resetting certain system preferences might help. Be cautious and back up your data first.
- Contact Support: If nothing works, consider reaching out to Apple Support. They may have specific solutions or patches for the issue.
Problems like missing settings after an update can be frustrating, but with some patience and these steps, you can often resolve them or at least find a workaround.
