Reinstall the macOS:

Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Use the third bulleted method: [command + r].


What to Connect:

  • External Monitor:

Connect an external monitor to see what it is you are doing.


  • Ethernet Adapter:

If ou have the availability, then connect using Ethernet. This would be an adapter to use: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
