  • A critical software update is required for your Mac, but an error was encountered while installing this update.
    Your Mac can’t be used until this update is installed.
    “Shut Down” or “Try Again” buttons or options
    What, your Mac can’t be used?! Pretty crazy.

    Apple Powerbook Pro 2016 model! MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) 2.9 GHz Intel core i7. 2TB, Memory is 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3.
    Apple Support care had never heard of this problem! Both several people on the telephone support and at the Genius Bar in Den Haag. (The Apple Store, which was quite busy but did not have to wait long!)
    This was likely a mother board or hardware problem. That much was clear. They had me make a TimeMachine backup, which works great by the way. Re-format the entire drive, erase everything and start fresh. The new install did not help either. Same problem and was only getting worse; taking longer to start-up each time. Every time I would start up or restart I would get told, “A critical software update is required for your Mac. Connect to the Internet now.” Or something to that effect. If I could not connect to the Internet it was a problem! When on vacation in Greece, I must have wasted 2 hours of my time trying to fix this!
    Anyway, Apple fixed the problem. At their cost, of course. Was wishing the Warranty. It was the main board;
    Logic Board, i7, 2.9GHz, 16GB, 2TB, RadeonPro 460, ETSI
    Great computer for the rest. Would still 100% recommend it!
    New Apple MacBook Pro (16-Inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB Storage, 2.3GHz Intel Core i9) - Space Gray:

    Thank God. That is solved. Hopefully you don’t have this issue. If you do, leave a comment, for it seemed like a rare, odd issue even for Apple! A critical software update is required for your Mac, a solution!

    This cropped up just today for me on my MB Pro late 2016 model. I did put in the WiFi login and it spun for a while but then came up with the error that there was a required software update. I selected ‘Shutdown’ from the two options (Shutdown, Try Again). I unplugged my dongle for ethernet and it seemed to boot up fine. I’m running 10.15.7 and up to date with patches. I’m assuming this maybe a problem from some segment of code in 10.15 that put in some firmware update that isn’t compatible with some peripherals that are connected. Just my $.0.02 worth.
    And a footnote, can’t go to Apple as my machine is about 1 year out of extended warranty!

      You could be right Marc. There were some good tips in the other comments here, but you can still go to an Apple repair center and let them have a look. They give you a damage report and quote.

    I just started facing this issue earlier today. I didn't use the time machine for any backups because my hard disk space is really limited. And I have a lot of software tools to install. Anyway, I did a restart today when I noticed that the touchbar was unresponsive. And then I encountered the same issue. Been trying to resolve it the entire day, but no luck. I tried reformatting and reinstalling Mojave, but it didn't work either. I could log in using safe boot mode, but that was it. When I tried to log in using normal mode, it would present the same problem. If it's really a hardware issue, then I guess I am really out of luck. I bought my MacBook in early 2017. So the warranty is long over. I don't have apple care, so that is a problem. I also currently don't have the money to get it repaired, so that sucks. Personally I am quite a techie myself and also a reputable software engineer and thought leader. I don't think it's really a hardware issue because my MacBook has been working fine the last few weeks. Although lately it does seem symptomatic (external hard disks will automatically be disconnected in between sessions). I think it's more likely a software-hardware incompatibility problem. Something in the update that didn't cater for late-2016 MacBook Pro Models. Just my thought. I could be entirely wrong too. But I'm just being analytical here.

      I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro Late 2017. I took it to apple service, they told me after four days that they had to replace the logic board because of some condensation problem.
      The touch bar is not powering on, I'm in this critical software update "loop" and after getting the laptop back from apple, the fan is spinning like crazy, so the problem just got worse and I had to pay 25 USD for them to tell me that a full repair would cost 1.5K USD!
      I came home and wiped the hard disk and reinstalled macOS Catalina 1.15.2 but after the first reboot I got the same "critical update" problem.
      So reading on the internet, I found out that if you select other networks and you just select my computer doesn't connect to the internet, it will just log in fine. The problem I'm having with that is that my wifi network is saved as a known network and it's connecting to it automatically, so what I did is that I just shut off the router and voilá! I'm able to hit the login screen and use the laptop without the touch bar and with the fan at full speed.

      same problem with the same 2017 MacBook Pro 15" . Safe mode works but not regular start. ....they said something wrong with my touchpad. They said it would cost me $250 to replace touchpad together with keyboard and they will also replace my old battery ( started to display warning sign, i think 60 cycles left.). I saw few people replying who have identical Mac models. Looks like a pattern to me.... i wander if this could be escalated and proved as Apple's fault. ????

    I had this issue the last year. I got an appointment at an authorized Apple service provider and they told me, this is related to a damaged SSD. I had to pay for a whole logic board replacement due to the SSD welded to the logic board, in consequence impossible to be replaced. I have a 15" Macbook Pro from 2016 and the process costs around $1,000.00. I'm really sorry for you if this happened to your laptop, but this is Apple's fault. Customers can't be responsible for design flaws inside their products hardware and software.

I had an apple type c to hdmi adapter with a monitor attached, a wireless mouse dongle and ethernet adapter. Unplugged everything, it booted fine, then I could initialise the update from within MacOS leaving addition monitor unplugged and I'm back up and running. Hope this helps someone.

Second time they said they would do "deep scan" and they said something was wrong with my touchpad. Said it would cost $250 to replace touchpad and keyboard and replace my older battery (displayed warning) ..... in safe mode my touchpad = mouse did work so im wondering if they diagnosed it right and #2 how does the update required fits the problem of bad touchpad.....shouldn't it be Apples fault ? seems software issue to me.... ???
