"Install macOS Big Sur" icon in Launchpad

Hi,

I recently updated my MacBook Air 2020 (Intel) to macOS Big Sur and I noticed that there's "Install macOS Big Sur" icon in my Launchpad.


Also, after installing this OS, my battery at the start page is not the same as on the screen page. After restarting, the battery shows 89%, then when it flips to main screen, it is 92%.

Hello kmldrx,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


We understand from your post that an app called "install macOS Big Sur" is on LaunchPad and the battery percentage doesn't match up from the Launchpad to your Desktop. In regards to the "install macOS Big Sur" app you see, it can be removed using the steps below:


Use Launchpad on your Mac - Apple Support


"Add or remove an app


Apps that you download from the App Store or that are included with macOS automatically appear in Launchpad. If you download an app from another source, you can add it to Launchpad by moving the app to your Applications folder.

Regarding the battery percentage being different, test the issue while in safe mode. Then restart your Mac as normal and see if the issue persists.

Dear Brother, I too get evolved in this problem but now sorted bcoz when I update my mac on July 24 2021 this icon start appearing from there..I check the updated version it says macOS Big Sur 11.5.....

All you need to do is to just update once more and you are sorted out of your problem.
