  • Is it me or sometimes macOS updates' first attempts fail?

    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 24 19:02:44 2023
    Hello,

    Is it me or sometimes macOS updates' first attempts fail? Like today and previous updates (e.g., Big Sur v11.7.9). I have to redownload the huge
    update, prepare, install/upgrade, etc. They take so long in this 2020
    13" Intel MBP with its 2 TB SSD. :(

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    I've found that I sometimes run into this issue if I try to install
    updates with a VPN running. Turing off the VPN resolves the issue.

    MBP wasn't on VPN. :/

    A crappy network connection can do that.
