Got software update notification macOS Big Sur

Question

Got software update notification macOS Big Sur

Will someone in IT/Systems see this post...I hope so?

I've been getting a software update notification from Apple saying "macOS Big Sur is available and will be installed later tonight"...it's been displaying this message for approximately 4 days now. I am concerned because I already have macOS Big Sur 11.2. Looking at the details of this update, it's Not an 11.3 version.

I don't think I should be getting this notification...please advise?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.0

Can you give me a more clear explanation of what you mean by saying = "Have you closed the Notification"?

If you are trying to say = Did you install this new current notification of macOS Big Sur...

No, I have not installed this new current notification...my computer is set to do automatic updates from Apple but sometimes I have to force the install/update myself....this one, I am a little bit leary about installing because the details of this install doesn't note that it's a new version....my next version would be 11.3 (I have 11.2).

You are right, this new update is an 11.2.1...I failed to look further into the details to see that it is 11.2.1. Thank You so much for the information, your help is greatly appreciated!

I will install this new version tomorrow, since the automatic update isn't working.

Just to add, it was released 2/9/2021. Just about the time you started getting the notifications.

Have you closed the Notification and it reopens?

Actually I meant had you closed the notification window. But I just realized, by any chance have you updated to 11.2.1? There was a recent update to 11.2.1. Perhaps that's what you are seeing.
