Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?
In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.
Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.
Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

Start with this if M1, M2, or M3 Mac...
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > Shut Down.
Wait for your Mac to shut down completely. A Mac is completely shut down when the screen is black and any lights (including in the Touch Bar) are off.
Press and hold the power button on your Mac until “Loading startup options” appears.
Select a volume.
Press and hold the Shift key, then click Continue in Safe Mode.
The computer restarts automatically. When the login window appears, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
Does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Restart normally.
Start with this if IntelMac...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
It does not work. I'm currently using the same Mac to write this article. The computer works perfectly every time I manage to turn it on. The whole problem is getting the computer to start once it's turned off. Safe Boot and other suggestions like recovery and reinstallation all failed because even at these steps the Mac also get stuck.
