Came to my MAC this morning and it appears to be midway through an update. But it’s stuck.
I’ve rebooted. I’ve rebooted from the net via the Option-Command-R option. It loaded fine and came back up but was in Safari mode and wouldn’t do anything else. So, hoping that it had installed a whole new OS, I chose the reboot. Back to the same place Apple logo and the progress bar. Stuck again in the same place.

Hi thank you very much for your detailed response. I’ve been through those steps. It turns out I have a corrupted disk. I’m now in the process of setting up a new volume and loading a new OS. Once this is done I’ll try to move my data across and then I’ll clean up the old piece of disk.
Fingers crossed this will work out.
Thanks again. It’s the first time I’ve used this forum - up too now my systems have always run as expected. You were very helpful.
