I assume it was because the auto updater reached its countdown. When I tried to restart it, the startup sound played, apple logo was displayed, and it asked for my login. I logged in, and the update bar started moving. All was well up until it reached around halfway, then the logo and update bar disappeared, leaving me with a grey screen. I read online that this may be an issue when updating, and the key was to leave it on. I left it at the grey screen overnight, and it was still like that in the morning <img src="/mac_images/images/smilies/Oops.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":Oops:" title="Oops    :Oops:" data-shortname=":Oops:" /> .Holding shift on startup doesn't work, as it brings me to the login screen regardless. Any ideas??Thanks <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ,-Gills</blockquote>
