Software on the computer interfering with the download process including AntiVirus Software
Notation: Disabling the AV Software may or may not solve the issue.
Removal of the AV Software may increase the chances of the download to perform as expected.
Running behind a VPN which may increase Packet losses or corruption of the download
Turn off any Third Party Two Way Firewall and try again

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
Try Again using the Software Update Applet in System Preferences / Setting
Worst case - Restart in Recovery Mode and choose Reinstall macOS.
This in theory will pull the latest version of macOS this computer qualifies to run
Attempted update keeps failing
