High Sierra Update issues

I got a notification that an security update was available for my older MacBook Pro (Mid 2011) this morning. I have never had any problem with a security update.


After “updating,” now the computer won’t start up. All I get is the Apple Logo with “cross out circle” over top of it. Why? What did I do wrong?


I have restarted from the “Recovery” disk and will started Re-installing the OS.


Has anyone else reported any issues with this new “update?”





MacBook Pro, OS X 10.11

The update is useful for at least one thing, a more secure version of Safari. If you use a different browser, and you are careful about your internet security regardless, you should be in good shape. When you are ready to upgrade to a newer system, please keep in mind that could change your compatibility for specific applications and hardware.
