Catalina upgrade stuck on Estimating time remaining

I’ve started the upgrade on my MacBook Pro A1708 at 9pm yesterday night, it’s 7am now and it’s still stuck on a black screen with the apple logo and the progress bar at the same point, with written “Estimating time remaining”.. I tried to switch it off and on but it does the same. What shall I do?

iPhone 7, iOS 13

Sorry that didn't work. Give the following article a try: How to fix a Mac that won't finish a macOS update - Macworld


If that still doesn't help, I suggest that you contact Apple directly by clicking on the Contact Support link in the upper righthand side of this forum's web page.
