Can't update to OS Monterey 12.5 from Monterey 12.4

I've been trying to update to 12.5 for sometime now, and today I heard about the security issues, so I tried again (obviously, this time I tried to update to 12.5.1). The whole update process seems to go normally, as on other occasions. It takes about 15 mins to download, then something happens for about another 20-30 mins, then the computer restarts and seems to be reloading (although the process is quite short, so that doesn't seem right), and then, when the process is complete, I go to the software update app, and it tells me that there is an update available for my mac, Monterey 12.5.1. So nothing seems to have happened. I have a 2015 Macbook air, with 120 GB of flash storage of which over 57 GB is available, so I don't think that's a problem.

Updating from version to 12.4 to 12.5 and a secondary update is offered which is 12.5.1 - do I have this right ?


That would should right to me.


The version 12.5 appears to be a requirement before the 12.5.1 could be offered as an additional update

Try this Terminal command below. It will only search for full versions this computer qualifies to run. It does not more


 softwareupdate --list-full-installers


Depending on the output of above command - this next command will download a specific full version of Monterey and place a new application in the Applications folder called " Install Monterey " It does Not Auto Launch


Be sure to have at least 15% to 20 % the the Total Drive Capacity as Empty Space
