Boot camp windows to Mac boot up loop

I recently installed boot camp for my MacBook Pro so I can run windows applications and it was working fine! However when I tried to restart recently in MacOs a prompt came up about updating the drive and so I did it. Now my computer is caught in an endless reboot cycle if I try to restart in MacOs. It will load and then it will ask for access to the encrypted drive, I put in the password and it just repeats itself indefinitely between an initial startup then a quarter of the way through it’ll grey screen and continue from a previous point then crash and restart all over again.

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

I found a solution, I booted it up in safe mood and reinstalled the Mac OS software and it booted up fine!
