"Finding available software"

When I try to run the software updates pane, it just says "checking for updates". When I run the terminal command to force checking for updates, all it says is "Software Update Tool. Finding available software." After that, nothing happens.


How do I fix this? This happens with my 16" macbook pro not the 13"

1 - Suggest 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.


2 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
