Hi, I am replying from South Africa. I had the problem with a recent update of High Sierra. I then upgraded to Mojave and the problem vanished. I gather there is a glitsh with High Sierra updater. PS, Mojave is amazing. I publish books and am on my computer about 10 hours a day. I acquired a headache from the screen brightness. Now no more headache with the 'dark view' of Mojave. Cheers Tony Westby-Nunn
