Can boot 10.15 only in Safe Mode - normal boot hangs after file vault pw

I had to remove LaunchDaemons for Sentinel One (via terminal in recovery). Are you running any sort of anti-virus scanning application like Sentinel One, Sophos, PAN Traps, Cylance, etc?

Only in Safe Mode here as well! 😟 Lots of kernel panics:

End of report

I’m having the same issue, I log in and the progress bar goes to 66% then the spinning wheel comes up and hangs. I have booted to safe mode and deleted any launch items from Library and ~/Library but still no joy

Tried setting up a clean account but that only shows in safe mode boot so thats not helpful to diagnose an issue.

Any other thoughts fromn anyone?

I’m facing the same exact problem On my iMac 5K. Safe mode only, and a very laggy safe mode with photoanalysisid hogging all the resources.

Here is a work around:
