Hello petefromamite,


It may help to try starting the Mac up in safe mode. This page can help provide info on how it works, and the steps needed to utilize it: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


Note that the steps will vary based on whether it's an Intel-based Mac or an Apple silicon (M1/M2) one.


This page can provide an additional bit of info that may help: If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support


At the login window, enter your user account password to log in to your Mac. If FileVault is turned on, this also unlocks your disk. You might see a default desktop picture in the background, which might change to your chosen desktop picture when you select your account.


Cheers.
