Basically, I told 13" Intel 2020 MBP's macOS to update its Safari and
macOS Ventura to v13.7 while I was out since it takes a while to
download, prepare, upgrade, and finish. I came home and MBP was
asleep. I thought it was done so I woke it up and the screen blinked
and showed me

(photo). I waited for 15 minutes, and it was still there at the same
status. MBP wasn't even warm so it's not doing anything I think.
Usually, upgrades makes MBP warm/hot. :(
 
So, I held the power button to force a shut off, booted back up, but
nothing. I tried again without power AC, monitor, and 3.5mm speaker
cable. Now, it worked. That scared me. I was able to boot up and log
into macOS Ventura v13.6.9.
 
So, should I try again since I never had this issue before? :/ Thank you
for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

 
Upgrade to 15.0 "Sequoia".
What you are doing is utter nonsense to upgrade to a system out of support.

 

macOS Sequoia (15.0) was released to the public on 2024-09-16.

 

Your nuts are numb.  Again.

 
Ventura is still supported. I will update to newer major version later on.

 
You understand not much:

And you are fiddling around with an OS which is 2 generations behind.

Have pity on those of us who have no option. My iMac is the 2017 model and is
stuck at Ventura. I have no particular need to get a newer model even if I
could afford it.
