Mac OS upate keeps freezing

How do I complete the MacOS 11.5.2 update when my computer keeps freezing. The update will not continue and I have tried various troubleshooting steps found on other support sites to no avail. Apple support site has no content that I can find to assist me. I need access to my computer so obviously it cannot stay in this limbo state for eternity.

Just how much Empty Space was on the drive Before attempting the 11.5.2 update - any ideas?? Much like the initial upGrade from Previous versions of macOS to Bug Sur, empty space is a requirement. Not the same amount but at least 15% of the total disk should be empty.


Further, was FileVault already enable before the 11.5.2 was attempted ?? If so, had FileVault finished Decrypting the drive ??
