I'm playing around with Dock and until now I was using killall Dock command to relaunch it.
Now I used killall -KILL Dock and my Dock went down without relaunching itself. I tried restarting my mac but it did not help.
I tried to open also /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock/Contents/MacOS/Dock but all I'm getting is:
2018-08-18 22:05:31.276 Dock[1061:44244] -[__NSCFNumber stringByExpandingTildeInPath]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xe5cdf6a4f4b8bcfb
2018-08-18 22:05:31.277 Dock[1061:44244] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSCFNumber stringByExpandingTildeInPath]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xe5cdf6a4f4b8bcfb'
Is there any way I can get my Dock back :(?

Check to see if the Dock is hiding, press âÂ¥âÂÂD (Option-Command-D), Also, in Terminal, runpgrep Dockand if it doesn't return thePID, then runopen -a Dockand let us know what happens.

The shortcut does not work at all.pgrep Dockreturns a PID andopen -a Dockdoes nothing too. Also doingkillall DockreturnsNo matching processes belonging to you were found

So, fortunately I found where the problem was - it was the desktoppicture.db file. Probably a corrupted one. Removing it made the macOS replaced it automagically with a new one :)

I would try âÂ¥âÂÂD first. If that doesn't work go to Apple Support Downloads, then search for, download, and run the combo 10.13.6 update (or the latest combo update available for your system version). That's may be the simplest, fastest way to fix something like this.
