    Oh, and if I go to Restart through the menu it never gets past ~5% on the loading screen and I have to do a hard reset.

    • You might have a legit hardware issue.monospaced
    • Hardware hasn't changed, just Catalina.i_monk
    • I understand, but what you're describing sounds more than just software. Have you considered a clean install vs upgrade?monospaced
    • Need Time Machine to work reliably before I consider that.i_monk
    • no, you don'tmonospaced
    • In a perfect world where nothing could go wrong, I wouldn't.i_monk
    • just back up your files and do a clean install. Then retrieve files. You don’t need time machine unless you want to guarantee the problem persists.monospaced
    • Time machine even backs up glitches and system settings. That’s it’s fault. So when you have issues like this it makes sense to try a clean install.monospaced
    • Obv I wouldn't restore system settings unless the install was a total failure, but I can't even get it to back up my other files atm.i_monk
    • When I get some time I'll just wipe that drive and backup manually and hope for the best.i_monk
