Cannot open file dialog or system preferences individual preference.

For some reason the file dialog doesn't open for any applications on my Catalina hackintosh. I have a feeling this has been an ongoing issue since 10.14 at least.

It only seems to be on my main everyday use account and does not happen on my administrator account. The difference between them is that the admin account is created fresh on every installation whereas the everyday account is brought in via the Migration Assistant. I wondering if there is therefore a permission or corruption issue with a file or setting that would exist under the account level that may be causing this?

Also, and this may be coincidental, the everyday account has issues with the System Preferences Pane which returns a "Preferences Error" of "Could not load <name of preference chosen> pane" for any preference in there.
