Mac: Disable AutoUpdate. Here’s a quick command line you can send out to disable the Microsoft Office auto-update functionality. This is particularly useful in environments where you are freezing systems and then pushing out all updates, rather than allowing hosts to automatically install updates. Microsoft AutoUpdate is a component included in the Microsoft Office suite that helps you make sure that you always have access to the latest version with all the improvements for any included application, as well as getting the latest security fixes.
I'm having a similar problem. I have a Late 2015 21.5' Retina 4K iMac, with a Core i7, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB Flash drive. I had issues with installing Windows 10 on it originally, as a standard installation using Boot Camp Assistant just would not work and I ended up having to partition the drive with Disk Utility, install Windows 10 using an ISO burned to DVD, and then manually install the Boot Camp Windows Support Software.
(detailed here: ) I booted into Windows 10 last week, for the first time in maybe a few weeks, to find that there were a selection of updates to install. I downloaded and installed the updates, but after the system had restarted it then got stuck in a 'preparing automatic repair' loop as in the OP.
In the end, I wiped the partition and re-installed Windows 10 the same way that I had successfully done originally (but with a newer ISO burned to DVD). On the new installation, everything was going OK at first. It installed successfully, it updated successfully, it restarted successfully.
When I restarted the system after then finally installing the Windows Support Software after all the Windows updates, I then suffered the same 'preparing automatic repair' loop as I had before 😟.

I have recently updated to 10.12.4. Running a iMac 27-inch, Late 2015. Since the update the mac won't boot up.
It will go into a 'loop' and restart itself. I can't go into safe mode but can go into comd+r and do a reinstall of macOS Sierra. This fixes the issue and allows me to use the mac until I shut down or restart the mac where the 'loop' resumes. I have searched and read various other community discussions but haven't been able to find a exact solution to my problem. I have run a EtreCheck report attached below. There were to adware issues which I removed the first time but it didn't fix the 'loop' issue. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple has heard the calls for a newer, better MacBook Air, and it has answered. How long to wait for mac 2018 refurbished. The new Air is not really innovative in any way, but given its $1,199 price tag, I doubt Apple ever intended it to be.
