MacOS Big Sur stuck at "Checking Updates" from version 11.6.7 to 11.6.8 and so on.

I recently reinstalled MacOS Big Sur (version 11.6.7) in my iMac, then It got stuck at "Checking Updates" forever. Then, once again, I reinstall the MacOS Big Sur and was able to install the 11.6.8 update. Now, when I get check the updates, it is stuck again at "Checking Updates".

Then I realize that my MacBook with MacOS Big Sur (version 11.6.7) has the same problem. It is stuck at "Checking Updates", but this time I don't want to have to reinstall all the system.

Please help.

Thank You.

MacBook Pro
