Mac air shows recovery assistant when powered on

Hi there Saurabh2503,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand your MacBook is booting to macOS recovery after turning your device on, and we'd be happy to help.

To get started, do you see any other errors or screens on your MacBook display before it boots into macOS recovery? If not, let's ensure that your internal disk is being detected, and run First Aid using Disk Utility with the steps shown here: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility

If still booting to macOS recovery, it's possible that you may need to reinstall the macOS on your MacBook. For help with that, check out the steps shown here: How to reinstall macOS

Let us know if that helps.

Take care!

Hi Saurabh2503,

In macOS Catalina or later, the Recovery Assistant is a security mechanism guarding access to macOS Recovery.

The Recovery Assistant may show several screens, depending on what state the Mac is in. Can you please describe the particular screen you're seeing?

Some common screens:

• Password Reset
• Select a user you know the password for (to continue into macOS Recovery)
• Activation Lock (if the Mac was erased with Find My Mac enabled)
