Would suggest doing a Time Machine Backup before anything else.


The, manually download the Security Update 2021-008 and stop there.


Restart the computer in Sae Mode - Shift key - immediately at restart and release once the Apple Logo is presented.


Then, launch the Security Update.


Safe mode will load slowly and is normal. It will also do a repair disk, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts.
