I had serous issues with SecUpdates from the App Store update page over a year ago and since, when I get a notice a SecUpdate is available, I now go to the Apple Downloads site:


Apple - Support - Downloads


Not a hint of trouble since on out three most-used Macs in the home office.


Note: After installing from the download page, the App Store updates pager(10.13 and earlier ) or System Prefs >Software updates, may continue to show the update available for a couple of days but it will go away with no action required on your part.

Hi


It downloads the update as usual but then when trying to install it stops doing so and says it can not be installed.


Apple at its best I guess, but frankly never had this kind of problem, OSX updates yes but not a security update


Any advice would be much appreciated


Regards
