I can login to safe boot without issue. I created a new admin account through safe boot, but upon first full login into this new account, the same behaviour as in the title showed up instantly.
I have tried Apple diagnostics boot which revealed no hardware issues. I have also tried deleting contents of /Library/Preferences
and ~/Library/Preferences
(for new account) but this does not seem to resolve the issue.
