Since the previous update (the one before BigSur), my system preferences were terrible slow. Since the update to BigSur, the systempref's stopped working at all. The error says: "**Preferences error** The 'x' preference pane cannot be loaded" enter image description here This happens on all preference panes, [here is a video](https://youtu.be/j0xR257qVT8) explaining the problem. I've tried - SMC reset (putting off, disconnecting cable for a while, reconnecting and restarting) - PRAM + NVRAM reset (shut down, hold option, cmd + P + R) - Deleted the systemprefs .plist file and restarted Nothing worked so far, I can't connect my bluetooth mouse, headphones, and all the other settings. Can some one help me out with this issue? **-Update-** Okay, I guess I somehow found the error... I logged in to the new account again. And look at this... https://youtu.be/kapOvWY8xXE When I go to the apple icon in the top left corner, it gives me another version of systemprefs. When I go to the systemprefs trough the applicationsfolder, I've got the 'new' systemprefs witch works as it should... The question now is, how can I override the 'old' systemprefs with the 'new' in the top-menu.
