Trying to update my backup external SSD to 13.3 is not working. It downloads and goes through all the motions, but when I restart from the SSD, it's still at 13.2.1. I've tried two times now with the same result. Anyone know what's up with this and how to get it to work?
I'm on a Mac Studio.
Thanks!

How much free space do you have on the external SSD?
Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your external SSD?
You might try booting into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac on the eternal SSD and download and install from there.
Note: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will assure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
Free space: 510GB
Started up in Safe Mode...can't move the mouse (wired) to the ID/password box to sign in...then computer automatically restarts out of Safe Mode after not signing in.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
I know the Safe Mode makes the mouse move very slow in the login window but it should move, particularly with a wired mouse.
