MacOS catalina security update 2021-006 10.15.7 update stuck on reboot

Tried to update this but was always stuck on the reboot apple icon and the progress bar is stuck.

Can someone help me here, please?

I cannot even do multitasking gestures from the trackpad anymore. Is it something Apple has stopped in the new release?


Thanks

The Security Update is " stuck on the reboot " - shutdown computer and restart in Safe Mode Shift key immediately at restart. Keep holding until the Apple Logo is presented and then release. This mode will do a repair disk, clean cache files and eliminate all third party software, extensions and fonts from loading - so boot slowly - normal. Hopefully, this will allow the Security Update to complete.
