Mac Never Ending “Setting up...”

I updated my Mac to Catalina and for 24 hours now it has been constantly saying ‘setting up...’ with a loading thing on my screen and I don’t think it’s ever going to set up.

R3UB3N, I had the same problem. Just power off and back on. It'll skip the "Setting Up your Mac". Go into System Preferences and click on your Apple ID and finish setting up there.
