Hi, I upgraded my iMac 5k from Big Sur to Monterey and everything seemed to go smoothly until I ran software update and tried updating to the latest version of Safari, on reboot startup gets stuck on Apple Logo with progress bar halfway. Unsure what to do here, since this is an older OS was hoping someone has run into this issue already? Should I reset NVRAM? I am having trouble booting into safe mode, trying internet recovery now to see if I can run disk utility from there. I just got into internet recovery and it looks like 12.7.1 was installed and I am currently running disk first aid... will see what it turns up.

Ok, I got this setup through trial and error and lots of restarts etc. When up and running while a bit sluggish everything seems fine. The boot up is dreadfully slow. I have run an EtreCheck report, was wondering if anyone notices some things I could clean up and address?

I have Monterey running fine on this machine but the boot is like 20min. I am booting from an external nvme usb drive and am wonderibg if anyone has run into this issue or perhaps the cheap usb cable this drive came with could be not hi speed enough?
 
Hi, I upgraded my iMac 5k from Big Sur to Monterey and everything seemed to go smoothly until I ran software update and tried updating to the latest version of Safari, on reboot startup gets stuck on Apple Logo with progress bar halfway. Unsure what to do here, since this is an older OS was hoping someone has run into this issue already? Should I reset NVRAM? I am having trouble booting into safe mode, trying internet recovery now to see if I can run disk utility from there. I just got into internet recovery and it looks like 12.7.1 was installed and I am currently running disk first aid... will see what it turns up
 
Just a personal guess that after you upgraded you did not allow enough time for the macOS to modify and index all of your files. Further you may have also updated Safari too soon before the indexing was complete.

Unsigned files - There are unsigned software files installed. These files could be old, incompatible, and cause problems. They should be reviewed.
System modifications - There are a large number of system modifications running in the background.

if you have still having problems and still have a computer backup before the upgrade, maybe consider erasing your disk and do a fresh install of Monterey, run it and test it, and then use migration assistant to transfer your files without the files that maybe incompatible, as cited above.
