Mac OS Monterey 12.1 update

Hello,


I am having an issue updating my 2020 M1 MacBook Air to OS 12.1. When I tried updating, I got a message saying that only owners can update, (which I thought was a bit strange, considering I am the owner). Restarted Air, then tried to update again, only to say that it was up to date,(12.0.1)


I also have a 2020 Intel iMac, was able to update to 12.1 with no problems.


Hope someone can help me.


Thank you




MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

I did as you suggested, force quit in activity monitor, checked for update, & there it was, 12.1. Sadly though, when I clicked on update now, I got the same error as before, "Installation failed. In order to continue installing, you need to be an owner".


Now I am totally confused.


Maybe I should wipe HD & re-install
