I have a 2012 Mac Pro. It launched an automatic update, got partially through it, said it could not install it, and restarted. When it restarted it went back to the same process. How do I get the computer to restart and not attempt this update again? Is there a key command On restart?
Mac Pro, macOS 10.13
In Safe Mode, try re-specifying the startup disk.
)The reason this has some hope of working is that some updates work by getting the update payload into position, then changing the startup disk to the update system. Changing it to the "real" system sometimes will make the update be quiet.)

Try restarting in Safe Mode (hold shift at startup).
So it restarted OK in safe mode. Now how do I stop that update from trying again?
I tried turning off the auto updates in the system preferences, and restarted, and it didn’t matter the update tried again and crashed again
that worked, regular start up went thru. back to work., THX!!
Caught in an update loop
