I am in a loop with my MacBook Pro after upgrading to MacOS 26. It starts up normally, then once the finder loads the Internet Connection is never made, and then I see an error message "remoted experienced a problem" once that message shows up, my mac goes into overheat and then Restarts.

and this is after you log into your account?
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
Yes it’s after I log in. I did try Safe Mode and not sure if I have it correct for MacOS 26.. because it doesn’t seem to recognize the shift key. But it did boot back up normally after I ran disk repair with only some graphics errors in the finder. I have a startup Sequoia ready but I can’t select that as a startup disk for some reason.

I had it installed a while ago, but removed it. I just reformatted the drive, and I had a Sequoia install USB ready and couldn't use it to re-install. Somehow it didn't locate that USB as a startup drive.

Here’s the error that causes it to freeze, just came back after I tried Safe Mode

Do you have Little Snitch installed? Heard a report yesterday of it interfering with upgrading to Tahoe.
