Can't update OSX to 12.6.1. Neither from Software Update, nor from command line.

Hey! So I've been trying to update OSX Monterey to 12.6.1. In Software Update gui I had "Failed to prepare the software update. Please try again."


So I tried doing it in command line to see if the response is going to be more readable. I used this command:


sudo softwareupdate -i "macOS Monterey 12.6.1-21G217" -R


And the response is like this:


Software Update Tool

Failed to download & prepare update: Error Domain=SUOSUErrorDomain Code=201 "Failed to prepare the software update. Please try again."

Any help is very appreciated!
