MacBook update loop

Hello Everyone!


I've got a macbookPro (details below) that keeps requesting to update. I update, the system restarts, performs the update without errors; I then log in and it requests to update again.


The version it requests to update to is macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 11.3.1

I have 40GB of free space left on the device, so storage is not an issue.


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

And you are running macOS 11.2 currently...(?) so a simple update version


Try rebooting into Safeboot , login and try again the 11.3.1 update
