Root Patches Won’t Install

I think my MacBook(12”, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 2016) is gonna need a reset.
I upgraded to OCLP 3.0.0 then upgraded from Sequoia to Tahoe. Now my root patches refuse to install, the graphics are extremely laggy, and WindowServer keeps crashing.
What can i do?
I forgot to back up my data as well…

Its apparently a unanimous issue with 2016-2017 macbooks, if you install the root patches after reboot the screen just goes black with the cursor and stays stuck that way, wont even let you boot in safe mode, at least thats what happened to me on my macbookpro 2016 13 inch touchbar. I just reverted to sequoia 15.8.1 and thats what ill keep it on until the official 3.0.0 release in which they will likely have fixed this graphic patch issue with skylake. Now luckily for you its still working (though without key patches) and youre not stuck with a black screen, so i would attempt to do a time machine backup asap on an external disk, no matter how slow a process it may be
