Mac Studio Gets Stuck When Logging in AFTER Password is Entered

This is regarding my Mac Studio M2 Ultra. When I first boot up my mac and go to log in/enter the password, the progress bar goes to about 10%, then gets stuck. It stays at 10% for approx 2mins befoe the mac restarts.


The only "fix" I have found is once I have booted up, if I wait on the log on screen and do nothing for 10 minutes BEFORE entering the password, once I enter the password it will successfully log in.


Steps/fixes I have tried but have NOT helped/fixed the issue:


  • Tried logging in through safe mode
  • Re-install MacOS
  • Removed all log in items
  • Ran diagnostics
  • Signed in and out of iCloud
  • Run the disk utility repair feature
  • Completely wiped ALL data and start the mac fresh


Does anyone have any suggestions on what the issue may be and how to fix it? The Mac Studio is a bit under 2 weeks old.

Mac Studio, macOS 15.0
