Black screen + Apple logo after entering password

Hey! I’ve just updated to Mojave without any issue. There’s a strange behaviour at the login screen: after I enter my password there’s a loading bar (the usual that used to appear always I previous macOS versions, when it gets to 70% aprox the screen goes black, then the Apple logo and a progress bar appears and then I get to the desktop. Any ideas? I tried SMC reset and PRAM reset but the issue persists.

Thanks!
