Right now I can,
I have no idea what happened in the night lol, maybe it tried to update on its own as they do at 2 am but failed to complete it ( I assume). But theres one other scenario I somehow managed to clear of my "start on login" applications and was able to login there after but but I can only use one application at a time like I was using a browser and when I tried to open discord client it restarted again. GG. Some people told me to reinstall macos.
Thanks for sparing your time for me and please do let me know if you have any other suggestions to get it resolved.
The idea of an Auto Update would apply only if the computer were running anything less than current Sonoma 14.4.1
Is that possible ?
Moving forwards from there
Some suggestions may have already been done by you.
If so, disregard and move onto the next in the order they are presented
Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
Does the issue present in this mode ?
Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
