I cannot get the Security Update 2020-006 10.14.6 to work

It gets stuck at less than a third of way across the progress bar and doesn't move for ages, and I have to eventually shut down and restart, which I have done now several times. Anyone know how to delete the installers and re-download? I suspect they may be corrupted...


TIA,

Joseph

Try again in safe mode, see if it helps.

NoteSafe mode prevents your Mac from loading certain software as it starts up, including login items, system extensions not required by macOS, and fonts not installed by macOS. It also does a basic check of your startup disk, similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. And it deletes some system caches, including font caches and the kernel cache, which are automatically created again as needed.
