multiple big sur updates

I updated to big sur about 2 weeks ago and then a few days later I was prompted to update to the same version of big sur again. Thinking I had installed it incorrectly, I went through the whole process again only to be prompted to update to the same version of big sure for a third time today. What gives?

Avoid Big Sur Update But Still Install Others? Hi guys - what is the best method to avoid the Big Sur update but still install the other smaller updates that I have still to do for Safari and Catalina etc? It seems that when I press in to "other updates are available" here: and tick those: and press install now, that it's going to install Big Sur as well still as it greys that one out when it returns back to the first screenshot as though it's including that too, so I cancel it beforehand concerned it will commence the Big Sur one as well? Thanks for your help. Edd

software update - not showing 11.6.4 release So I noticed 11.6.4 was released. I went to my software update to grab that release. However, when I do a software update ( Systems Preferences > software update ) I don't get any software updates for Big Sur shows only macOS Monterey Updates. This only happens on one computer. But I can redownload the entire 11.6.4 Big Sur download (12GB) for the App Store and apply it. Any fix for this?
