MacBook isn't updating

Okay, So this is kinda hard to explain, but every time I try to update my MacBook it's stuck in a loading screen. It has been months, and I've reset it, charged it, have strong wifi, nothing will work. The software update is stuck on a loading screen and it is starting to mess with the laptop. How do I get the Macbook to update to the newest Software! Thank u!!

You can always force quit a shutdown by holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec.

Force Shut down your Mac.


Log out, sleep, wake, restart or shut down your Mac

For your update reboot into Safeboot mode, login and try again your update
