why does MacOs 10.13 keep trying to install security update

Hi,

My iMac is from 2010 and has been obsoleted. It has MacOS 10.13 in called. Recently I installed Security Update 6 per the App Store. The list of installed software on the machine says that #6 has been installed yet the App Store is still trying to install it. Is there a way to stop/fix this?


Thanks

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

There's a bug in what is reported as installed, if it fails to install during the attempt it will show as installed nut About this Mac, highlight where it says 10.13.6 & to the right of that a Build# will show up, if it completed the 2020-006 sec Upd it'll say 17G14042, if 2020-005 was the latest it finished for real it'll say 17G14033...
