I have been trying to update to Big Sur 11.6 but it keeps failing on a step where it is attempting to update the boot sector. I think its because my disk is encrypted but thats just a guess. I get prompted for the disk password, I enter it, then it reverts. :(
Is this your personal machine or a business machine bound to some MDM / Enterprise management?
