MacBook Air won’t complete update

My MacBook Air did a software update, rebooted, but is now stuck on the update screen: Apple icon with update bar below. It would not complete the installation process. What can I do?

Hello Sevenaddi,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


I understand that after updating the macOS on your MacBook Air, the computer I would first recommend starting by restarting the computer. That should prompt the update to finish. If the computer doesn't restart, then the following article should be of help to find out where the startup is failing and the links should help get the MacBook Air to finish the restart.


About the screens you see when your Mac starts up


If this doesn't get the issue resolved, then get back to us and we can go from there.


Best regards.
