macOS Catalina Update

I'm trying to update to the latest macOS Catalina, but when I click Update Now, my computer just restarts and doesn't actually update anything. I have 14.19gb of space available. The current version of Catalina I have is 10.15.13. It says that the update available is 10.15.5.

Please help!

Macbook Pro, 13-inch, 2015 won't update with Catalina I can't update my MacBook to Catalina 10.15.6. When I click on "restart" to begin the update, it will go through the whole process of shutting down, restarting, etc.. but when it all comes back up it shows the update never happened. No message. No "update couldn't be installed." Just back to where I started as if I never attempted the update in the first place. I've got about 10GB of free space. Does this sound like a reasonably easy fix to anyone?

Mac still on Catalina 10.15.3 Hi there - my mac is still on Catalina 10.15.3. I have tried multiple times over months to update to no avail. When I restart and download, I still receive the update message. I have enough space on my computer to allow for the update. I also see that now we are on 10.15.7. How do I fix this issue and go about updating to the most current version available? Thanks!

The latest update (Catalina 10.15.6) does not install on my MacBook Air running Catalina 10.15.4 My 2015 MacBook Air is currently running Catalina 10.15.4 without any issue. I have a notification that the latest update to Catalina 10.15.6 is available on my Mac. When I click "Update", it restarts and go back to the login page. Update not installed and no error message. I made sure I had more than 30GB free space on my hard drive.

I had the same problem with about 20gb of space left on my hard drive. Catalina 10.15.5 wouldn't upgrade from 10.15.4.

The Catalina installer from trying a few times unsuccessfully was using up 8gb of space. I went into Applications and deleted it. Then I went to the App Store and started from scratch upgrading Catalina and it installed.
