Update many times but still request for update. Many times!

It says, updated but after few seconds, ask to update again. I've done this multiple times keep restarting my macbook pro 2015. From the system preference > software update > automatically restart > "your macbook is up to date at 6.50pm" > (after few seconds) > "update now" > me = angry but still doing the same time restart thousand times.

I've done first aid on disk utility as i've read from the community page, same result. I've check the Go Folder > paste this ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist > 'file cannot be found' > me = still angry


What should I do?

If not 10.15.4 then reboot into Safe Boot Mode and down load the combo update directly to your Mac.


SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and dowload, then launch the installer from this safe boot.


Combo update macOS 10.15.4 https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2037?locale=en_US



If About this Mac shows it is installed— then from Terminal.app copy and paste:


sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina"
