update at night

Hi CoraYvette,

Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it seems like you want your MacBook Pro to update at night. You can choose to start the update manually at night and it will continue to download any updates overnight. There is no feature to set a schedule for the MacBook Pro to check for updates.

Does the MacBook Pro update automatically during the day?

Is the update stopping overnight?

"On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Software Update.

To automatically install macOS updates, select “Automatically keep my Mac up to date.”

To set advanced update options, click Advanced, then do any of the following:

• To have your Mac check for updates automatically, select “Check for updates.”
• To have your Mac download updates without asking, select “Download new updates when available.”
• To have your Mac install macOS updates automatically, select “Install macOS updates.”
• To have your Mac install app updates from the App Store automatically, select “Install app updates from the App Store.”
• To have your Mac install system files and security updates automatically, select “Install system data files and security updates.”

Click OK.

To receive the latest updates automatically, it’s recommended that you select “Check for updates,” “Download new updates when available,” and “Install system data files and security updates.”

• • Note: MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air must have the power adapter plugged in to automatically download updates."
