Troubleshooting Mac Automatic Restart After Closing the Lid:

A. Close All Apps Prior to Closing the Lid:

Close all apps, and try this once more. Use Force Quit for this. See if this applications open. If that is the case, save what need be (if possible), and then Force Quit. Attempt this once more.

Go To: Apple Menu
Select: Force Quit...
Select: An Item Ending in: “Not Responding”
Click: Force Quit button

B. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe Mode, Login Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, attempt another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support
