How do I get rid of the flashing question mark when starting up? Will an upgrade to Monterey fix this issue?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Hi,
See: If your Mac starts up to a question mark - Apple Support
If your current OS is corrupt, installing a new one could resolve the issue.

Upgrading to a newer version of macOS will not solve the flashing Question Mark issue and may even make a bad situation even worse.
Suggest following the previous posters advice to remedy the underlying issue before considering any type of an upGrade.

I often get the flashing question mark when starting up my MacBook . if I upgrade the software to Monterey, will that get rid of the problem?
