the  finder keeps flashing "restore window...

does anynone know, why the finder keeps flashing and saying that the restore windows (Don't restore windows or Restore Windows)

Try reading through this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3193215?start=0&tstart=0 where several were able to fix it.

Try this.

1. click on "spotlight" on the top right corner of your desktop.

2. type "terminal" (without the quotation marks) and open it.

3. when the terminal opens, type "cd desktop" and hit enter.

4. type "rm -rf .DS_Store" and enter

5. type "exit" and enter

If it doesn't work try the follow:

1. click on "spotlight" on the top right corner of your desktop.

2. type "terminal" (without the quotation marks) and open it.

3. when the terminal opens, type "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/" (This will empty your trash) and enter

4. type your administrator password. As you type, you will not see any character on the screen. Just type it and hit enter. (If you left your password blank, you have to make one by going to system preferences - users & groups - change password)

5. type "exit" and enter

Singman, Thank you so much. Your second solution worked like a charm.  I really appreciate the time you took to write a thorough easy to understand solution!

solved!:) thanks with first solution

Had the same problem and tried different things - including deleting the Desktop through Terminal in Recovery Mode. Didn't do the trick for me, neither did any of the 2 above mentioned solutions.

Believe it or not: I just killed the Finder in Activity Monitor and - boom - it worked again. Finder launched again instantly and worked. Force Quit didn't work, I tried that before obviously. After the next logoff / login the restore windows question came up again and I chose not to restore any windows.

Now it works.

Perhaps can be of help for someone for whom the above mentioned solutions didn't work out.

Thank you Singman79. I ran into the exact same problem and your first solution worked for me!

Thanks Singman79, you saved me! your first suggestion worked immediately!

The first option worked for me like a charm. Huge help. Thanks!
