macOS Monterey 12.1 not downloading on M1 iMac

Hello everyone,

Both devices mentioned are connected to the same network.

I have a 24-inch M1 iMac which is currently running macOS Monterey 12.0.1. When updating it to macOS Monterey 12.1, it gets stuck.

I also have an M1 (not M1 Pro or Max) MacBook Pro, which finds and downloads macOS Monterey 12.1 normally (I updated it 9 hours ago.)

What is the issue now?

Monterey upgrades and Internet Connection My new M1Max Pro came with Monterey 12.2.1 pre installed, yet now unable to install later versions due to "Unsecure Internet Connection" Never had that problem with the 2016 Macbook Air . Also video Exports just stall / abort at 82% completion - never before encountered that with the Macbook Air. Any similar experiences with Monterey OS?
