The error “SETTINGS ERROR EXTENSION PROCESS ‘ACCESSIBILITY’ (2150) EXITED” on macOS indicates that a background process for your Accessibility features has crashed

This is a known issue, especially after system updates, and often affects features like Voice Control, Spoken Content, and Live Speech

Method 1:

Delete the corrupted preference file A corrupt file is a common cause for this error and can be safely deleted.

Open Finder, and from the top menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder.

In the dialog box, type and click Go.

Find and locate the file .

Drag this file to the Trash.

Restart your Mac. The system will automatically generate a new, non-corrupted version of the file. [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Method 2: Reset Accessibility permissions via Terminal If deleting the preference file doesn’t work, you can reset your Mac’s Accessibility permissions database using the Terminal app.

Open Terminal from .
Type the following command and press Enter:
Enter your administrator password when prompted. The command will complete without any feedback.
Restart your Mac manually (Apple menu > Restart).
After the reboot, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility and re-enable any apps that you want to have Accessibility permissions. [10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

Method 3: Use Safe Mode Booting into Safe Mode can clear certain system caches and potentially resolve the issue.

Shut down your Mac completely.
Start up your Mac in Safe Mode. The steps vary depending on your Mac’s processor: • For Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3): Press and hold the power button until the startup options screen appears. Select your startup disk, then hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
• For Intel Processors: Press the power button, then immediately hold the Shift key until the login window appears.
After logging in, restart your Mac normally. [15, 16, 17, 18, 19]

Method 4: Update macOS If the issue started after a recent update, it might be resolved in a subsequent minor release.

Go to System Settings > General > Software Update.
If an update is available, click Update Now to install it. [20, 21, 22, 23, 24]
