macOS Update Displays Installer-like Window

When updating to macOS 10.15.5 (and every 10.15.x update before it), my Mac displays a window like is shown below (which before 10.15 never showed up on a minor update). Is this a normal occurrence when updating on Catalina or something weird that my Mac is doing. (Note: I did recently update my SSD to an OWC Aura Pro X2 480GB, I don't know if this would effect updates or not)



Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hi iwotastic,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. I understand you'd like to know if the installer window that appears in the photo you provided, is normal behavior on your MacBook. I'll be happy to help.


The window you're seeing, when it comes to installing updates for macOS Catalina is expected behavior. I personally experienced this on my Mac.


Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.


Kind regards.
