Hello,
I have been trying to update my mac book pro 2019 (16 inch) to macOS Monterey. However, after I download the installer through the app store, and run it, the mac book restarts. Once I log back into the OS, the original macOS Monterey installer pops up again, prompting me to start the update process again. No errors were displayed.
Any help? I tried safe mode already by the way.

You need an Apple disk installed to upgrade to Monterey since the upgrade includes an update to the Mac's firmware. That update looks for an Apple disk and write to the dick to do the firmware update. The install will terminate or freeze if no Apple disk.
Do you have enough free disk space?
Do you have any antivirus or clean apps installed? Id so uninstall them using the app's instructions.
What macOS version now? Some users have experienced problem when skipping versions and for not fully updating one version before upgrading to another version. Like if you are on Bug Sur is Big Sur fully updated?
Is FileVault enable before the upGrade Ito Monterey has started ?
Has the decryption process completed before applying the upGrade of Monterey?
Has one attempting installing from Safe Mode
Yes, I have tried installing from Safe Mode.
I take it the issue is resolved since another posting bears the denotation Green Badge as Solved is appearing.
That is good and happy computing.
macOS Monterey restarts during install but reopens the installer
