Apple Intelligence has been downloading for months...

My MacAir M4 has been downloading Apple Intelligence for months. In settings, the system reports 100% complete but the little icon is spinning.. Any ideas?

Try to force downloading again by changing language for one of unsupported and back to the original one

Thanks for the suggestion...

I don't see a way to change that setting in the Siri and Apple Intelligence settings. Is there another setting I should use?

Thanks.
