Catalina 10.15.4 - 'Setting up you Mac...' on my desktop!

After updating Catalina from 10.15.3 to .4, my Mac now have the 'Setting up your Mac...' screen stuck in the desktop background, I can normally use the Mac and all the applications except the Desktop and access the desktop files using Finder.


I can't find the process related to it. Did someone had a similar issue or know how to kill this process?


MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Interesting glitch—


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test
