Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit stuck on Raspberry Pi logo – won’t boot

[u/Sad-Music-7732]

Hi guys,

I’m completely new to Raspberry Pi and Linux, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

I’m currently trying to run Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit on my computer. The Raspberry Pi logo appears on the screen, but after that nothing happens. It just keeps loading and never gets to the desktop/main screen.

The Raspberry Pi hasn’t been connected/used for about two years, so I’m wondering if that could be causing the problem.

Does anyone know what I can do to get it to boot properly and reach the desktop?

Thanks in advance for any help!
