I did a install of the Combo update 10.11.6 and after that a Safe Boot.
Now all is working again. I saw in the log there was a problem with the LSD.
A also cleaned out my caches but that is i think not the answer.

Jul 19, 2016 3:32 AMby Brian Williams2,Update: Mysterious restoration. As mentioned, I had reinstalled the OS and 10.11.6 was installed, with no apparent improvement to the issues. I had to leave my computer for several hours, and when I got back to it, most problems had disappeared – apps would launch, etc. The only lingering problem was that many dock icons had been replaced by a generic icon. Launching many of the programs seemed to resolve that, but not for all. For those that launching didn't solve the icon issue, I removed the icon from the dock, then re-introduced the app to the dock. All seems well now.
Frustrating & scary. Although I maintain 3 rotating backups, the exercise was disconcerting. I saw no information that would suggest that the update required background work to complete. Also as noted, I had initially updated my MacBook Pro (SSD) and had no problems at all. I have 3 more machines to update, and I am leery.

Jul 19, 2016 6:46 AMby Detlef Schmitt,I have the same problem on a 27 inch late 2013 i7 iMac. It seems that booting is stuck somewhere. My menubar icons do not all load, Butler mini dock doesn't load and the Finder shows very view files. I waited 30 minutes but the problem didn't correct itself. The booting doesn't finish. Restarting several times also didn't solve the problem. Although something seems going on because chip use is continuously above 20%.
I started from TechTools eDrive and saw that actual all file are there. I downloaded OS X 10.11.6 from the Apple website and placed it from the eDrive on my desktop to reinstall. But in the corrupt update the update package doesn't run. Nothing runs. No program starts. I did a volume rebuild with TechTools but that did not solve the problem. I will let 10.11.6 run over night. We'll see if it can correct itself.

Jul 19, 2016 6:53 AMby Kai_L,Had a similar issue after the upgrade a couple of hours ago. Upgrade didn't reboot automatically but screen turned black, so I had to reboot manually. My main (admin) user account wouldn't load after typing the password. Tried reboot, safe mode, disk check (luckily no errors), OS X reinstall, no dice. Still the spinning wheel...
Luckily I could load the guest user and create a new admin user trough there. Although I can access my files its not the optimal solution. Am running Parallels as well. Need to reconfigure everything.
Might not have anything to do with the upgrade but the whole thing seems strange to occur right after the upgrade.
Running: MacBook Pro, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB.
