Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
If no problem in Safe Mode but problem returns after a normal boot that mean something is being loaded during a normal boot that is causing the problem.
If stil problem Download and run this app so we can find more information about your installation.

Scorched Earth Method
This method will WIPE ALL Data and there is No Recovery - Period.
To perform this action will require booting from a Bootable Installer.
This will have to be performed from a Qualifying Computer to run the version of macOS to be made on the Bootable Installer. Example : Bootable Installer of Big Sur would have to be done on a computer that Qualifies to run Big Sur.
Notation: If the computer being used to perform this action is Too New or Too Old to qualify to run the version of macOS - this computer can not be used.
Once that is done read on for preparing the Destination computer >> Only works on Intel Based Apple Computers.
Extra Special Notation regarding the Touch ID equipped Apple Computer.
