I downloaded Catalina and now it will not completely shut down

How do I get my computer to shut down completely? It hangs up with the photo of Catalina Island. It will not allow trash to be eliminated either. It just shows that it is doing it, but there is no way to Force Quit. I'm using Catalina.

Programs I'm running? Probably not, since I’m talking about shut downs where all apps are closed except those that always run resident, in which case I would likely have the problem every time.


Mac trying to complete in the background? I’d say 14-plus hours is MORE than enough time for the OS to complete it’s background shut-down activities.
