[QUOTE="MikeFromMesa, post: 1747766, member: 305741"] Well, how about that! I called Apple Care and, although they had to look this up, they found the answer. Apparently if TextEdit is enabled in iCloud Drive, that is the way TextEdit opens. Go to System Preferences, open iCloud and select the options button for iCloud Drive. When the dialog box opens check to see if TextEdit is selected. If it is TextEdit will open in Finder. If TextEdit is not selected it will open in a normal text window. I unselected TextEdit and now the app opens normally. As with most things, simple you know how to fix it, but it would have been a very long time, if ever, before I found the answer myself. [/QUOTE]
