Hello moncadalou,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, the cursor for your MacBook Air freezes upon startup. We see that you came here by following the resource titled Find out which macOS your Mac is using. We'd like to help!


Let's try an SMC reset.

You may also want to try an NVRAM reset.

We also recommend starting in safe mode. Sometimes just starting in this mode and then restarting can resolve issues like this: How to use safe mode on your Mac
