Installed Catalina on MacBook Pro and now on the screen shows “Setting up your Mac” and at bottom of the white background says Setting up... with a spinning circular bars indicating it is still in process of setting up. It has been like this for over 5 hours. Can I do anything about this? Is the computer locked up and if so how do I rectify the situation?
