I installed MacOS Big Sur developer beta 1 on my MacBook Air 2017. However, it doesn’t boot up in normal mode and is stuck at the progress bar, it does however boot into safe mode with limited functionality, also the new control centre and many “new” features just crash the system when booting from safe mode. Please help.

I’m having an issue with 14.0. It must be an application it doesn’t like however I just stable and all of them upon login and it still freezes and sometimes there is hesitation from typing and typing showing up on the screen. Mac i27

Am having this issue since installing Beta 7 on my MacBook Pro 13", can boot in Safe Mode (removed all Login Items from there) and even installed the ~2.34GB update after Beta 7 and still the same issue. Really frustrating since all previous Big Sur builds did not have this issue on the hardware/install (kept upgrading).

Same here on my 2014 MacBook Air 11" with the newest public beta. Everything else works except for audio and video (which are disabled in safe mode), very annoying since I can't use Zoom.

With me too on my Mac Pro 2015 (2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7). I can only start up in safe mode. Need to find out what's causing the blockage in the startup.
