    Hello,

    Can you check that your Recovery partition exists and is visible?

    Best regards

    Thank you for your response,
    It exists because I can boot from it, but it is not visible on my normal session

      Hello and sorry for the delay in my response,

      I recommend that you repair your permissions using the disk utility and also check/repair it from your Recovery partition, then test again.

      Best regards

      Hello Escapology,

      Don't apologize, it wasn't urgent at all.
      And a huge thank you, because you solved my problem.
      Just so you know, I had repaired the permissions and the disk using Onyx, but apparently, it's better to go through recovery.
      Have a great day.

      Best regards.
