What exactly did you update? If it is the macOS, then restore to a Time Machine Backup you Mac prior to the installation.


Important: Create a Time Machine Backup, First:

Prior to the installation of your updates, be certain to backup your Mac using a Time Machine Backup. That way, you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the install (i.e. wanting to uninstall the update). Use an external hard drive that is at least 1.5 the total storage capacity.
