There was a little strangeness while updating my iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017) to macOS 13.6.1. During one of its restart passes it put up a circle-slash icon (vs. Apple icon) under which it displayed “support.apple.com/mac/startup” (ruh rho Scooby). After several minutes it proceeded and finally displayed the login screen. On log in things seemed OK but I did another restart just in case, perchance, it started up at the aforementioned URL.
