MacBook froze during update, not can’t connect to hotspot..

Hi, I was updating my MacBook while connected to my iPhones hotspot. I noticed the progress bar stopped so then I tried to restart my Mac (control+command+power) and it took me back to the frozen screen with the frozen loading bar.

Now, my Mac cannot connect to my hotspot because I have to do this manually.

Any advice for this issue?

MacOS Ventura is completely broken and impossible to use on my MacBook Pro 16 2019 Since I have updated my MacBook Pro 16" 2019 to the MacOSX Ventura 13, it has gone completely out of hand. My internet connection fails every 2 seconds and I can not even send an email. I have to refresh every page I browse at least two times. It keeps giving me "no internet connection error". Its full of bugs and despite the fact that I have reinstalled the OS three times already and talked to apple support team, still does not function. Please help.

ventura system settings network settings submenu missing (the actual network settings pane is blank) iMac 27” Ventura 13.1 Systems Settings -> Network has no info on the submenu (or rightside pane). It’s blank. I can run the terminal command networksetup and all my ethernet settings will display and I have no problem with ethernet connectivity. Only the System Settings do not display. I have tried safe mode, a new admin user, a new standard user, and reinstalled Ventura. Nothing changed. On this iMac the System Preference is broken (it works fine on my wife’s MacBook). Additionally, in Wifi, clicking on details does not work. The Details button is not greyed out. Clicking on it does not open the next window. I also booted to recovery and ran first aid in disk util for Data, HD, & Volumes and all checked ok. Love to have a solution to this mess.

Private Relay and other System Settings frozen after update to macOS Ventura 13.1 After updating to macOS Ventura 13.1, when I click on my Apple ID in System Settings, the next screen either fails to appear, or takes much longer to appear than before. When the next screen does appear, it shows that Private Relay is still "Loading," even though I updated to Ventura 13.1 yesterday afternoon. I've also gotten notifications - off and on since updating yesterday - indicating that some of my current settings are incompatible with Private Relay, but the "Learn more" link below that statement is grayed out. I'm unable to click on it, or on "Done." My screen simply freezes. The only change I've made to any settings for some time (don't remember when I last changed any System Settings) was to update to Ventura 13.1. How can I get Private Relay to work again, and/or get System Settings in general to work and display properly? I'm using Mac Studio, connected to high-speed internet via Ethernet. Thanks

is "Automatically join this network" selected for the hotspot in question? It's under System Preferences > Network.
