Hi fhansel,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with updating your macOS. We're happy to help. Have you tried installing from macOS Recovery or using safe mode? If not check out the steps for each below:

Should the issue continue, test the update in a new user account. If needed, you can find the steps for setting up a new user account in the guide: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Cheers!
