Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted one of your recent posts. Oops! If you do use sysdiagnose in the future then http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/87982 might help you to dive in deep relatively quickly.

@tywebb13 I saw the same, from topics such as https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/974233/ I'm I was sure that 10.1 was a typo. But my vote at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1973845/ is no mistake; I'm unashamedly the odd man out :)

10.11.14 and 10.11.15 seem a bit ambitious. Did you mean 10.11.4 and 10.11.5?

Most people thought we wouldn't get past 10.11.5 for el capitan and were surprised to see new 10.11.6 betas.

10.1 was puma. Was that really your last system or was that a typo?

Sorry, I didn't clarify enough. 10.1 was the last system I used (on an eMac in high school) before 10.11.14 and the recent 10.11.15 (on my personal 2015 13" rMBP).

It would make sense that an eMac from 2001/2002 would run OS 10.1.X.

You claim you are running 10.11.14 on a Macbook? Is that a minor revision of 10.11.1? Minor revisions are normally identified in the build number such as "15B42." I can only assume you mean 10.11.4 and 10.11.5.

It would seem so... I've been referring to them as 14 and 15 for a while now :confused:

Another data point. I have Macbook Air 13-inch. Started freezing couple months ago. Still does it after upgrade to 10.11.15. Mouse moves, but nothing opens or responds.

Again, you mean 10.11.5 don't you, not 10.11.15?
 
Well 10.11.5 got rid of my freezing issues but holy crap my machine is laggy as you know what. Especially when loading youtube 720p vids and trying to go full screen video....

Being that the title of this entire thread is Macbook Pro 2015 with OSX El Capitan 10.11.4 system wide freeze (Read the details) then yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. The system freezes started with that version and a security update was made to 10.11.5 which seems to have fixed some rMBPs (including my own).

Well, that makes absolutely no sense.
 
No freezes here since upgrading to 10.11.5 on Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch early 2015 over 2 weeks ago. Had at least a few random system wide freezes every week on 10.11.4.

I think there should be a poll like "Has the 10.11.5 fixed your freezing issue that started at 10.11.4?"...... There's a lot of noise in this thread.

Btw, it's been fixed for me too.
 
Just stumbled across this article on macrumors that says apple officially acknowledged the issue and provides steps to fix it. ( update to 10.11.5 and update yor flash player to latest version[if you have it installed, if not - ignore].)

https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht206594

If you still have issues after following these steps you can still use this thread, although most likely you have something else going on. I strongly suggest you record the issue when it happens and contact apple support.

Thanks again everyone, take care.
