My macOS Monterey Installer has been stuck on 16 minutes remaining for more than an hour, I also tried yesterday and I had to wait around 1-2 hours and it would not do anything after 16 minutes remaining. Any fixes?
MacBook, macOS 10.15
Hello onlyfallin,
We understand that you're concerned about the macOS installation due to it continuing to stall after a certain amount of time. Have you tried connecting to a different Wi-Fi network to see if the issue persists? If not, give that a try. Should the issue continue check out If an error occurred while updating or installing macOS - Apple Support and follow the actions for updating after performing a disk repair, while in safe mode or installing from macOS Recovery.
Best regards.
For a Start - Close all the Open Applications that are appearing in your Picture as represent in you above picture
Safari, Messages, FaceTime, Mail System Preferences, Disk Utilities, and one other I do not know.
I would add that many people find that Wi-Fi or any network is just too slow for these very large downloads. Therefore what usually happens is that the file gets corrupted and can't load as it should. For OS updates and upgrades I would use only a wired Ethernet connection. Then it should download as it should.
