You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /TouchBar is this

or

what exact macOS you are currently running?



Upgrade from what macOS to Catalina?


If you are having issues you can try SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and download/ run the installer from this environment.


download direct Catalina:
