Big Sur update failing

My 2020 i5 Macbook Pro is on 11.0.1 and will not update to a later version (currently 11.2.2 being suggested).

It sets off updating, looks fine but then restarts still at 11.0.1.

big sur 11.1 update fails My late 2013 Macbook Pro has Mac OS 11.0.1 installed. I am getting a system message to update to Big Sur 11.1. I've tried updating twice. Both times I briefly see black screen with a message saying the computer restarted due to an error. I still see the Apple logo and progress bar after that. When I log in, I get a prompt to enter the email and password for my cloud account. After that, once I'm fulling logged in, I find a system crash dialog with the option to send the report to Apple. The system thinks it still needs to update to 11.1, and says it will try automatically. What should I do? How do I get out of this cycle? thanks for your help Cynthia

Are there any third part AntiVirus Applications installed that could interfere with the update? If so Remove as per Developers Instructions - If - No Disregard.

Try Re-Start in Safe Mode - Shift - immediately at startup. Does a Repair Disk, clears cache files and loads only Apple Software and Fonts.
