I'm attempting to upgrade from Big Sur 11.0 to 11.1 on my Macbook Pro 2020.
It downloads the update, but then freezes when trying to prepare the update with 10 minutes left.
I have left it all night and it didn't move. Also tried to boot in safe mode and run it there, no luck. And I tried booting in recovery mode and repairing the disk. No difference.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
ESET or any AntVirus is totally unnecessary on macOS. They are well known to mess-up the macOS to the point of altering system files, interfering in system file and can corrupted an other wise perfectly running OS.
That said, urge you to remove ESET via the Developers instruction.
Once that is achieved, try the Big Sur upgrade again.

Read others with similar issue. They have Stopped the Screen Saver from activating and had to kept the computer from becoming inactive during the Long download process. The 10 minute mark in the download process can run 30 and more minutes in Real Time - it did for me. Had to keep the MBA active even if just moving curser around before it would go to screen saver.
Good Luck
Thanks, but unfortunately that doesn't solve it. I've been working the last 5 hours with the "update" running in the background. It's still stuck at 10 minutes.
Are there any AntiVirus, Optimizers , Disk Clean Up Applications installed or using a VPN.
Yes, I got ESET antivirus, but also tried to disable that without luck. I got a VPN installed, but not using it. No optimizers, disk clean up applications etc.
I uninstalled ESET and tried again and that did it. Thanks mate!
Very Welcome glad it worked .
Big Sur update freezes
