Try repairing Disk Permissions. It's tougher to do in HS, but instructions are here:

I assume you are in HS, since you didn't day. If not, the procedure may be different.

It happened to me too on one of my five High Sierra machines after the second security patch for the root account security hole. However, I don’t know if that was just a coincidence or not.

It fixed itself after a reboot. Have you rebooted?

I would think that it's a corrupt plist file.

Option>Go>Library
Library/Preferences
remove (delete) com.apple.finder.plist
restart

Me too. Rebooted. Fixed.

I had something similar the other day. Trying to access the Applications folder from the Dock and nothing would open. I tried to open the Downloads folder from the Dock and again it would not open. I browsed to the Applications folder using Finder and it showed as being empty. I fired up Launchpad and all of the applications were there.

......Rebooted. Fixed.
