If my batteries were not got drained I would have reinstalled the OS, but that is not the right solution apparently.Īpple Care helped me to but there is not clear procedure for update loop, luckily my batteries drained triggered the idea to me and the apple agent to give it a try with the SMC Reset.įinally it seems there is no such Critical Update pending, is just an error produced by some SMC / MacOS combined disruption. In addition to the Update loop, 'fortunately' my batteries also got totally drained and macbook did not charge anymore. Reboot to ensure everything works correctly on next boot. I SOLVED it with a SMC reset ( MacBook Pro 15' 2016 with touchbar)ġ- TURN OFF MAC, REMOVE USB-C POWER SUPPLY CABLE AND ANY PERIPHERALģ- PRESS SHIFT + CONTROL + OPTION + POWER FOR 10 SECONDSĪ small apple logo should appear in the center of the screen and a dashed progress bar at the bottom of the screen: Don't worry the machine is booting normally.Įnter your password and you are ready to go!
