This was a pretty quick install for my 2015 Macbook. Any details on what the previous problems were and how it was corrected?
Did you have to backup your computer before installing as the update requested?
Wow, that’s a scary thing to know is lurking around… I guess I’ll update mine as soon as I get home!
hmm it tells me that i don’t need the update – mid 2015 MBP, running El Capitan Public Beta 2. Maybe it was already bundled with the update :S
