Stuck on system installation

I decided to update the software of my my Mac my big sur. After staring installation the progress bar went up to about 2/3 of the bar. It then got stuck there and hasn’t moved for an hour. I’m positive it has a stable internet connection and power but I’m not sure what’s happened

Is your mac connected to your router via cable rather than WiFi.

Are there any other devices sharing the same internet connection that could be

interfering with the install.

Leave it fo another hour.


Then restart your mac and see if it will continue with the installation.

Or try the same in Safe Mode.
