Automatic update installed Catalina but will not finish “Setting Up Your Mac”.

The progress bar for “Setting Up Your Mac” has been spinning for hours. How do I get it to finish?

Hello win147,



Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to finish the setup after updating your Mac to macOS Catalina. To help with this, please follow the steps in this Apple resource and then contact Apple if you need any further assistance.



If your Mac is stuck on the 'Setting Up Your Mac' screen

Contact Apple Support 



Cheers!
