My mac mini is stuck on search for update

I have been trying to update to Monterey and it is stuck on searching for update, tried restarting and re uploading but always does the same thing. Is there a way to get the update?

Mac mini, OS X 10.11

searching for updates times out Hello, on my MacBook Pro 2016, running on Big Sur, I could not install Monterey, because the "searching for update" dialog did not come to an end. It seems to search forever (I didn't touch it for 30 min.). As solution I booted the Mac in "safe mode" to try the update from there and this seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem, and what is the reason for the software updater not to respond? best regards Frank

Macbook Updates I have a 2020 Macbook Air try to update to the macOS Monterey. The picture provided is the screen it won't move past. I'll click restart and will say closing all other applications for hours until it gives up and tells me to try again. How can I fix this and still update my Macbook?
