Unable to upgrade to 12.6 on Mac mini running macOS Monterey. When checking for update it says up to date version 12.5

Unable to upgrade to 12.6 on Mac mini running macOS Monterey. When checking for updates it says up-to-date version 12.5. The security update is said to be available and to update ASAP. If it isn't yet out, is there a date on which it will be available?

I also have this problem. I have a Powerbook 16 inch new late last year. When I go to about this Mac > software update > checking for updates, it says I am on the latest version of Monterey - 12.5. It is not giving the option to upgrade to Monterey 12.5.1. Since this is being toted as a serious security issue - why isn't Apple allowing some Mac computers to upgrade??

I'm have an M1 Macbook Pro 14'" (2021), and after updating to 12.5.1 I get:


Your Mac is up to date -- macOS Monterey 12.5.1


However, one day after updating to 12.5.1 I Shut Down my Macbook to clean the screen and the keyboard, and my Macbook kept starting up while attempting to clean the keyboard. I tried Shut Down several times, but my Macbook kept launching the startup screen, so I went about cleaning my Macbook while it was on.


After I was done cleaning my Macbook, I could not log in. I got the reaction that happens when you enter an incorrect password--kind of a shake. I checked the caps lock, etc, and I clicked on Shut Down or ReStart on the login screen several times but after attempting to log in about 15 times, I gave up, and I was resigned to bringing my Macbook into an Apple Store. Then I clicked on Shut Down, and I let my computer sit for about two minutes, then I tried logging in one more time, and I was successful. I have no idea why logging in worked the last time and not the other times.
