After inputting the FileVault recovery key, MacBook just restarts and nothing else happens After inputting the FileVault recovery key, MacBook restarts, and nothing else happens. It makes this loud fan noise and restarts. Once it comes back, nothing happens. The recovery key is correct. Otherwise, I would have an error message. Do you know where to go from here?

Mini M4 Login Progress Bar Reboot Since the last major update, I've been having a problem with the MacMini M4, Memory, 24GB and Storage 512GB. The system will hang to where the top menu disappears and requires a force power button reboot. This started over the last few weeks. Prior to that, when rebooting the system, It takes several password logins for the system to boot into the OS. After login, they system will reboot after the progress bars reaches about half way. Around the 5th login, the OS will boot. Is this a common problem? Ive attached the EtreCheck after the system booted this morning.
