Want to upgrade to OS X 11.5.1 but wheel keeps spinning when looking for OS X updates.

And App Store does not have any updates (seemingly) either.


I am now on OS X 11.2.1



How to update now to OS X 11.5.1 or later?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Several workarounds have been proposed, such as restarting your Mac in "Safe Mode" and checking for updates while in that mode, and / or resetting NVRAM.
