Good afternoon Kathinator,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you are having an issue updating to macOS 11.5.1, and we'd like to help.


How long are you waiting for the computer to finish updating? The time estimate showing on your Mac may not be accurate. Try running the update before you go to bed and let it finish overnight.

If an error occurred while updating or installing macOS


Take care.
