Updated MacBook Pro to Catalina, now it won't startup (black screen)

I updated my MacBook Pro to Catalina, and I have not been able to get it to boot up since. I can hear it trying to start, but the screen remains black. Any ideas on how to fix this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

When you hear the startup sound, immediately hold down Command-Alt-P-R; your Mac should re-boot. Keep holding them down until you hear four restarts (or two minutes ... whichever happens first.)



Does that help?
