Reset the SMC, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295

and the NVRAM, as per > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063

Then if those do not help? It sounds like it may have a hardware issue and you need to make a service appointment.

iMac reboot takes forever Hi, second time this week the restart of my iMac takes an extremely long time (>20 mins), showing progress bar with time remaining. This is all happening while no software update is taking place. Can someone help with identifying the possible issue? Thank you!
