A troubleshooting idea that may help, maybe even relieve the symptoms, might

be to use Safe mode on startup. You'd have to login after startup, and see if it

really had started in Safe mode.


• Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Then either use Disk Utility and run Repair disk or just restart normally.

Is your MacBook a newer 2020+ with M1 Apple Silicon system-on-chip?

There's no way to tell from where you've posted, what one your Mac is.

Also other things to try on startup, ie: using macOS Recovery to access

macOS Utilities, to see that version of Disk Utility may help; and so on.
