I have been able to fix the problem by reinstalling and
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred
rm ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.savedState
