OS X Update 10.11.6 Problems

I am experiencing problems with the 10.11.6 update. My MacBook Air completes the update and then when the Mac starts up after the update it runs for a few seconds before shutting down. Luckily I could restore from my TV. Have tried to update several times but with the same outcome - have wasted hours! Now plan not to try update again - unless someone can help with some suggestions to overcome the problem. However, my Mac did start the update without my intervention recently which meant another restore :-( Is there any way to block automatic updates?

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), iOS 10

You can block automatic updates by changing your settings in System Preferences/App Store.

Try running the combo update. It installs all previous updates plus the new one, which can replace any files that may have become corrupted.
