My MBP won’t start up with Big Sur. The bar freezes halfway through. What’s up folks?

Disconnect any attached drives and restart in Safe Mode - Shift key - Immediately at startup. It will run a Repair Disk, Clear cache files and only load required Apple software to run the Mac. So, it loads very slowly which is normal. If all goes well, the login screen will appear and login. It will appear different than in normal boot - that too is normal. Let it run maybe 5 - 7 minutes in Safe Mode and reboot to normal Mode
