Disconnect any external devices and plug into charger. Shutdown the computer by whatever means required including the Power Button. Restart the computer in Safe Mode ( choose the method specific for this computer - Intel or M1 ).


The Safe Mode will do a Repair Disk, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and Fonts. This eliminates all third party software from loading and in so doing May or May Not allow the update to finish processing all the changes.
