Strange update screen

I was going to check if there are any updates to my OS and when I selected 'About this Mac' and click on 'Software Update' I get the following screen. I tried this several times even rebooting my laptop but the same screen is coming up. Anyone seen this before? Something is corrupted?

I had the same problem on a 2017 MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13. I fixed it by upgrading my macOS. I was able to upgrade to the latest OS, Big Sur. I found this article helpful for figuring out what's the latest OS you can upgrade to: https://www.uvm.edu/it/kb/article/outdated-macos-and-how-to-upgrade/


You can upgrade without using the Update tab. Instead, find the OS you want to upgrade to directly in the App Store (online or in the app).
