When clicking on Apple menu, there is not list under drop down Last week I came across a case where user was not able to find any menu item when he clicked on Apple menu and he has some changes to make in System Preferences which he could not do just because of this problem.

In any troubleshooting when you move the .plist file and it does not fixes your issue then make sure that you move that file back to its place.
