A folder with a flashing question mark means that your startup disk is no longer available or doesn't contain a working Mac operating system.
If the question mark appears only momentarily before your Mac starts up normally:
If the question mark persists, follow these steps:

Hi,
Are you just trying to boot, or install an OS, or? Whatever the case, an hour is long enough. Hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to shut down, then boot into Safe Mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
Can’t start in safe mode. Getting attached error. Asking me to go to support.Apple.com/Mac/startup
I would also repair the disk using First Aid in Disk Utility while booted into Recovery: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility - Apple Support
You are welcome and thank you too.
Do come back to the Apple Support Communities ( ASC ) in the future, if / or when additional question may arise
Abort now.
Thanks. This got sorted. Somehow the receivers utility wasn’t getting downloaded. Switched to a better network and it worked ( went back to Yosemite 😀)
