Most complaints about the system being slower after an update is due to folks giving a review right after rebooting. It is normal after an update that the first time you restart, it may take awhile to boot, and the system seems slow for awhile, that is because caches are being refreshed/rebuilt. Updates can appear to stall or freeze leave it alone, be patient, go watch a movie, don't turn your machine off thinking it's stuck, you will corrupt the install. Once more: BACKUP YOUR DATA, OR BETTER YET, CLONE THE ENTIRE PARTITION BEING UPDATED. RUn Disk Utility First Aid first, make sure no currupted files.īACKUP YOUR DATA, OR BETTER YET, CLONE THE ENTIRE PARTITION BEING UPDATED. Run Onyx before update, run all the maintenance tasks. Updating the same drive you are booted from adds more risk. If you have two bootable partitions A and B, boot to A to update B, boot to B to update A. If possible, boot from another partition than the one you are updating. I always recommend the Combo, even if you are just upgrading from the previous version.

10.11.5 combo update (updates any version of 10.11.x)
