Latest version of macOS Monterey 12.7.6 not available on App Store

Thanks, but I know how to create a bootable USB installer, that's not the problem. As I explained, the latest version of Monterey, i.e. 12.7.6 is not available from Apple. It is only possible to download the old 12.7.4 version, which is fine, albeit absurd, if you have to install it on a virgin drive, and then you can update to the latest version. However, if you need to re-install Monterey over the latest version, the installer with the older version cannot downgrade. Hence, my question.

Thanks, I already tried all those links and the terminal commands before and only the old version was available. The fetch-full-installer command for the 12.7.6 version resulted in no version found and there is only the old Monterey 12.7.4 version in the list-full-installers terminal command.

I already have the latest version of Monterey 12.7.6 on my mac, as I already explained, I need to download the installer to create a bootable USB installer.

Thanks, but as I already explained, I have the latest version on my mac, it's not a question of localized version since the installer contains them, remember you choose the language when you install the macOS.

Thanks. I thought that maybe a vpn might work, but when I saw your suggestion, it seemed like a good idea. Unfortunately it didn't work, even after I deleted com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist and rebooted.

I just updated macOS when Software Update in System Preferences sent me a notice that it was available as an update. That's why I find it strange that Apple hasn't updated the Monterey installer on its App Store.

Fine, of course you're free to doubt that the latest version will be restored even though historically and logically all previous macOs versions have always been and currently are available in their respective latest version.

OK, let's just say, let's keep our fingers crossed!

Er... did you read my original post? I am not wasting my time trying to download 12.7.6, I'm trying to understand why the latest version is not available. Also, I guess you did not understand my reply to Matti. What Matti wrote was just a repetition of my opening argument (and what others, such as Peter Pappas posted), which ended with the question: “Is there a particular reason why Apple has not made the latest version available on the App Store?”

I tried both, thanks, but it downloads the old 12.7.4 version, which of course cannot install over the 12.7.6.

Somebody at Apple obviously screwed up because although it labelled the macOS Monterey installer on the App Store as the 12.7.6 version, when you proceed to download it it will tell you that it will download the 12.7.4 version.

Thanks, good to know! Are you located in Ireland?
