Q - " Hello, yesterday I tried to update my macbook from mac Big Sur to monterey "
A - Yes, have seen several other persons experiencing this type of problem.
There are several methods to try and fix this issue.
1 - Restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal. The try the Software update Applet in System Preferences again
2 - There are factors: Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software
3 - Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses and may corrupt the download
4 - Best Results are via Ethernet Cable to Router
5 - Run the Terminal Command Without the Quotations Marks and what is the output " softwareupdate --list-full-installers "
Does it show a Monterey UpGrade is available for the computer
