Mac OS10.15.5 update on less than one month old Mac Mini 2018

I started the update but it has been stuck on the screen with the Apple and the following message, "This update will take several minutes to complete and the screen will turn off for up to a minute." The status bar has been stuck in the same position for almost an hour. I have to keep waking up the computer before the hard drives goes to sleep.

Clean install of Ventura 13.1 freezes at Language selection screen I have created a bootable external drive with Ventura 13.1 for M1 Silicon devices. It successfully installs just fine on MacBook Air (M1,2020), Mac Mini (M1,2020). However when installing on a MacBook Pro - at the language selection screen, as soon as I select a language it freezes for ~20 minutes - the cursor will respond in jerky fashion the whole time but won’t accept input - occasionally showing the beach ball. However, after 20 (approx) minutes, it will drop the language selection screen and show an all grey background (plus jerky cursor) for another 10 minutes, before it finally moves to the next screen and then suddenly installation continues normally.

Hold the power button for 10 seconds to turn the Mac Mini off and then turn it back on.

Then if it doesn't fully startup, reset the NVRAM as per > Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
