That is usually due to Directory corruption, but how many are we dealing with?

Start with this...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes or more.

Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.

Rebuild once more.

You can use Drive DX to possibly get a better view of Drive health…
