a critical software update is required for your mac

[@BlueKap]

It`s temporary solution only. 👍 👉 for the 100 % Best solution : kindly replace the Logic Board ( Motherboard ) not SSD. firstly check your laptop warranty because this model come with 3 Years warranty .

[@LaurensiusSteven.Musicworks]

Wow replace logic board? Mine is 2016 so..... I'm to late

[@koneru06]

I just now clicked on DELETE button before wifi shown up or when it says 2min, it worked.

[@treeocean5949]

you must work for apple. I did that swap once already for $1,500. Your car's water pump will be fixed is you buy a new engine! Find a board-level repair shop

[@atojoseph1241]

Dude, thank you very much. I have been dealing with this issue for 3 days. I really appreciate you making this video.

This is great i’ve been having this problem on and off again for a couple weeks and no one could get it to work thank you so much

[MY SOLUTION: 10.14 -> 10.15] I tried all solutions online none of which worked for me. My solution was to make a USB installer of Catalina 10.15 (the oldest Catalina) and reinstall the system with it. My older system was Mojave 10.14. A genius bar guy told me the problem came from the incompatibility between hardware and OS.

[@davismvilla]

So by installing the older Catalina which the touch bar did not even exist on it's not going to check for touch bar firmware correct?

[@bananaorangeguy5277]

tried and didn't work of me , still "A critical software update is required for your Mac" after a long starting and loading

[@dlabarnyc]

Thank you, sir. I spent 30 min on the phone with Apple support and reloaded Catalina and it didn’t work. Then I followed your instructions and am back up and running again. Bless you!

The main issue with the logic board (motherboard) in a Mac is that it can get damaged due to factors like wear and tear, dust, dirt, and liquid damage. To resolve logic board issues, thorough testing and delicate repairs are often required. In some cases, a logic board replacement may be necessary, which can be a costly repair.

[@ov553]

Still same problem. I tried many things. Any other advise ?

[@izzzzzz6]

I ran first aid in recovery mode, i thought that worked to fix my issue but...... The next day i went to restart and no luck, i found the issue. I had failed to update monterey os. I was having more issues and could not start up in recovery mode to run disc utility but the disc was not the issue. I managed to startup with left shift held down after several attempts then i managed to go to about this mac, software update (app store was not working) then i ignored the recommended os and clicked on show more updates, then i found the missing update for monterey, this took around 30 mins and a few restarts, which it seemed to do on it's own. I was scared as my monitor was working and sometimes updates do not allow the use of the external monitor. Anyway. Finally this worked. no more error showing in startup disc in disc utility first aid when clicking on the top disc option.

[@Ycy212]

Hello! I tried to press and hold the left shift key but the apple logo doesn’t appear :( anyone can help please?.?

[@nareshkalpagiri5098]

Dude, for this issue i tryed to go to Apple service also , they said board issue and came bak to home and checked with your video its worked thanks you buddy and i subscrabe your channal and thank you a lot man

[@tommyangelfab8817]

Such a shame! While my Mac has been completely restored at an Apple store in January, since 3 months, I can’t use it without being connected to the power, close the screen or carry it closed while on sleep. It panics and restarts. But today it just doesn’t want to restart and give me the exact sam ESCEN a-t-il you described. I restarted on safe mode before seeing your video, made some cleaning with clean my Mac, hoping it will restart normally but it doesn’t unless I’m in safe mode. That’s really a shame

[@danworld6707]

I had same issues. First i tried reinstalling OS which did not help. Gave it to Apple. First they simply erased and restored OS which did not help. Then they took it again for "deep scan". A week later they called me and said the problem with touch pad. I ask why it is complaining about updating software than.... They said they can fix it by replacing keyboard, touchpad, and my old battery, all for $250. Sounds weird since in safe mode the touch pad did work..... also price of new battery is about $50 right?

[@Alpha-ys2sj]

I might have a solution to all of this, What you do is before installing Mac os, go into disk utility and make a 2 gigabyte ms dos FAT partition, this makes what is called an EFI partition, this partition is what helps Mac os boot , by doing this the installer doesn't have to do it as it can cause an error that is silent. hope this helps

[@stagalicious]

If you have anything connected via USB-C, like an external monitor, unplug that and reboot again. My monitor was causing this issue.

[@koneru06]

Guys I fixed it, i just clicked on DELETE button when it says 2min or before this wifi window pops up and i got login prompt, i logged in again and it worked.

[@gabykyu]

Didn't the problem happen to you again after that? Because my macbook also works after connecting to wifi and starting 2 minutes. but after 15 minutes it restarts again.

[@infinitoama2455]

I guess I have an issue with the Touch Bar. Can I disable it?

[@davismvilla]

Thank you! Is there a way to just disable the touch bar or go to a previous OS where the touch bar did not even exist?

To install a critical software update on a Mac, you need to ensure that your Mac is connected to a network. The error message A critical software update is required for your Mac, but an error was encountered while installing this update indicates that macOS needs to install an important update, such as a bug fix or security patch, before you can continue using your Mac. If you encounter this error, try restarting your Mac and attempting to install the update again. If the issue persists, you may need to perform a factory reset on your Mac to resolve it.

[@clint-o]

Thank you so much! Ours crashed while updating during a lightning storm and internet failure.

Thank you. This also worked for me. Question...You didn't actually say to renew the DHCP license. I just followed what you did in the video. Was it the DHCP license renewal that fixed the problem, or just logging in in safe mode to verify that the wi-fi was indeed connected? Just curious 😀 Thanks again.
