big sur 11.1 update fails
My late 2013 Macbook Pro has Mac OS 11.0.1 installed. I am getting a system message to update to Big Sur 11.1. I've tried updating twice. Both times I briefly see black screen with a message saying the computer restarted due to an error. I still see the Apple logo and progress bar after that. When I log in, I get a prompt to enter the email and password for my cloud account. After that, once I'm fulling logged in, I find a system crash dialog with the option to send the report to Apple.
The system thinks it still needs to update to 11.1, and says it will try automatically. What should I do? How do I get out of this cycle?
thanks for your help
