I've had better luck from the Safe Mode because I evidently have some 3rd party software that interferes with the installation so try the following:
#1 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support.
NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3-5 minutes as it's doing the following;
• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed
• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)
• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically
• Disables user-installed fonts
• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
#2 - go to the System/Software Update preference pane and begin the download.
#3 - run the installer from the Safe Mode.

Thought I had answered but must have missed it! Yes...I try to update thru system presences. And if it matters, I have my computer set to atomically update at night. Never had an issue with updates before but that's computers! Tks!
Hi,
Using this Apple Support article as a guide, About System Information on your Mac - Apple Support, please let us know what year your Mac is.

You should be able to run the highest version of Big Sur 11.6.8. Are you checking for updates using System Preferences > Software Update?
