Why does user login has a spinning wheel?

Trying to login to my account but I can’t get past the login screen after I enter username and password. I am the only user as admin.

Does the computer finish the start sequence? Do you get the same thing if you boot into the Safe Mode?


Safe Mode - About


You may need to reinstall the OS. If possible, do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility and select First Aid. Then re-install the OS.


Reinstall from macOS Recovery


OS X Recovery
