Chances are one or more of your Login Items are either missing or corrupted.


Try the following:

  1. At the login prompt, enter your user account password ... but DO NOT click on the Login button.
  2. Hold down the <shift> key, and then, click on the Login button.


This should temporarily bypass any items in the Login Items for this user account. If your Mac now properly displays the macOS Desktop, you know that it was one of those items.


The support article you arrived here from should also provide you with the steps to take when your Mac doesn't complete the startup process. Have you reviewed it yet? If so, and it didn't help, what else have you tried, so far yourself, to resolve this issue?
