error dowloading big sur 11.7.9 update from 11.7.8

Whilst clicking on "Software Update" for Big Sur 11.7.9 some error occurred during downloading the update.

However after restarting and clicking op "Software Update" again, the message reads "Updates Available":

macOS Big Sur 11.7.9 and Safari 16.6. But instead of "Start Download" it says "Herstart nu" (Restart Now), which invariably leads to the error "Downloaden mislukt" "Download Failed".

No way can I reset the "Herstart nu" (Restart Now). Or any other way to try to download 11.7.9 in any other way. (By App Store or Apple.com or in even trying to reinstal the macOS)

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

Restating in Recovery Mode with a stable and reliable Internet connect - preferred Ethernet Cabled to Router

Choose Reinstall macOS. This in theory will pull the latest version of Big Sur available and commence the installation.

Or

Restart 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 and Try Again using the Software Update Applet in System Preferences

How good is your internet connection? I've had problems with updating the OS because of a slow connection. You can see that on your Mac with the Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities), when downloading a large file or updating an app. If you're using wifi, switching to an Ethernet cable (probably with an adaptor) can speed up your connection. Resetting your modem or updating the firmware on your router can also improve download speeds.
