Apparently you aren't the only one encountering this issue with the combo updater. You will find some suggestions from Apple in the Apple Support Communities.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

Thanks for info. I had already tried a bunch of those ideas including reinstalling from the recovery disk the whole system (not an erase) and no success. I guess I will have to wait for the next update and hope they fix it. I had the same issue much earlier and they fixed it so I will see

Sierra is no longer under development and while their might be a security patch any updatesare highly unlikely. There is however an upgrade, High Sierra (MacOS 10.13.2) which is a free download from the App Store.
