Cursor frozen on my desktop IMac after downloading Monterey

Not likely tbh. I'm not the one who usually does it you see., my husband who is very technically minded always does it.. . but my now estranged o/h had come around a couple of weeks ago.. and had started the process of the download while he was here not realising that it was going to take longer than he expected, and so left it sitting on the task bar waiting for it's final installation, telling me a few days later. , that there wouldn't be any problem if I just finished it off . . I should have guessed, that it wouldn't be straightforward.. and I would have been very right.., so no I will not be doing any more installations..other than straightforward ones like upgrades to firefox etc..
@hollydolly .. I stopped downloading games due to screen freezes and other problems after dl'ds .. and, I've played hundreds. Fortunately, only a handful caused issues.

Some of the Microsoft games are not bad.

Pinks... ..the Monterey is not a game it's a MAC operating system... but I agree with you about the games. I used to play Games years ago..Big Fish, Pogo etc, thinking they were established game providers, and wouldn't be bugged.. but I was wrong.. they leave fragments of games everywhere deep in your computer even after you;ve deleted and cleared all cookies and caches.. and are a devil of a thing to get rid of..

@hollydolly ... aaah! Goes to show how much I don't know about Mac's :unsure:
Yep, those games always left garbage behind.
 

I have Monterey, Version 12.1 on my desktop ... have had it for a couple weeks now.
Nothing strange with the download.

It seems the Mac has way too many updates for my liking. ...and when things go wrong - blame the mouse!

there was nothing strange once it downloaded Bonnie.. it was the downloading that was the problem, when it froze the computer completely 5 minutes before completion ..it just jammed the whole system
