monterey 12.2.1 login problem
After upgrading to 12.2.1 this morning, login is broken.
I get a spinning wheel after entering the password, and none of the workarounds I've tried over the past 7 hours have worked.
I finally had to reformat the drive and reinstall High Sierra, which fixed the login issue, but as soon as 12.2.1 finished installing, same problem.
Anyone else having the same trouble? As of now my only recourse is to try a downgrade to Big Sur and hope I can login again. If I can get it working I still have to re-install all my apps and recover the data from backup.
Extremely frustrating to say the least. If I can't trust the OS upgrades not to bork my system, how am I supposed to keep up to date?
