MacBook Pro won’t boot up past the Apple logo

My 2011 MacBook Pro won’t boot up past the Apple logo. It will load to the end which takes about 30 minutes and will stay at the end for hours after. Any solutions ?

Try an SMC reset:

How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support


Try starting up in Safe Mode:

If neither of those work boot into Recovery and Reinstall Mac OS.

About macOS Recovery - Apple Support


Try Single User Mode (hold command-s keys)

At the prompt, enter this command:

/sbin/fsck -fy

Press the Return key.

This will check your directory and report that it was OK or repaired. Then enter this command to startup normally:

reboot


Run Apple Diagnostics  

Press and hold the d key on startup:
