Failed to update Xcode in Monterey

My MacBook Air is stuck in a loop to update Xcode after upgrading to Monterey. After the upgrade, Software Update says that there are 3 updates available for Xcode. I have done the "update now" process at least 4 times but the 3 updates still being shown in the software update panel.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Xcode can't open because it is updating I have a mac-mini (late 2014) running Monterey 12.3.1. Since 12.3.1 installed (a couple of weeks ago) I haven't been able to open Xcode. The message "You can't open the application 'Xcode' because it is being updated." appears. I've shutdown the machine down and restarted it - no change. Gone to the App store and tried to download Xcode again. It never completes. Just the line circling for hours. Is it time upgrade my machine?

Xcode update via Appstore fails (after installing Catalina) Yesterday I received 3 updates via AppStore as shown in the screenshot: 2/3 could be installed, but the update for Xcode didn't work. The terminal command `sudo softwareupdate -l` doesn't show any available updates. But I'm not sure if softwareupdate only shows system updates usually installed via "Software Update" in "System Preferences". I tried the update for Xcode approx. 10 times since yesterday and also signed in and out with apple id multiple times. Can anybody help to either install Xcode or to bring AppStore in a clean state again (in case the Xcode update isn't correct)?
