thank you for the information.

If the stack on the dock isn't pointing to the correct location, which should be /Applications/, then re-drag the correct location to the dock (For example drag the Applications icon from Finder's sidebar to the dock).

All applications should be located in /Applications/ (which is also is where your stack should point) while ~/Applications/ directory (aka /Users/TheUserName/Applications/) isn't the correct location.

Alright. Nice to know that problem is solved.
