Disk Utility stuck on loading in macOS Recovery

Can someone help me get Disk Utility to stop saying “Loading disks” with the loading circle above it? It’s been doing it for what seems like forever.

That will stop when you Force Quit Disk Utility. See Quit apps on Mac - Apple Support.


  1. Press Command-Option-Esc.
  2. Select the app from the list.
  3. Click on the Force Quit button.
  4. Repeat the Step 3.
