Try the following. Press Command + Spacebar to launch Spotlight and type “Terminal,” then double-click the search result.

Once you’ve opened Terminal, run the command:

```auto
sudo launchctl enable system/com.aaa.windscribe.OVPNHelper

```

You might need to enter your Mac account password (not Windscribe), please input it if requested and press Enter.

Once you’ve run that command, try opening the Windscribe app again and see if that helped with the issue.

Ok this is not normal

Can you create another user (admin) and try there. Looks like you have a problem with your local system files.
