Unable to update my MacBook Pro Every time I want to update my MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina 10.15.5 it tells me to restart before I can install. I then restart it which only takes 10 seconds and when I return it repeats the cycle of not allowing me to install without restarting. Am I doing a step wrong?

Macbook Pro, 13-inch, 2015 won't update with Catalina I can't update my MacBook to Catalina 10.15.6. When I click on "restart" to begin the update, it will go through the whole process of shutting down, restarting, etc.. but when it all comes back up it shows the update never happened. No message. No "update couldn't be installed." Just back to where I started as if I never attempted the update in the first place. I've got about 10GB of free space. Does this sound like a reasonably easy fix to anyone?
