I’m currently running MacOS Big Sur 11.6.5 on my MacBook Pro, Mid 2014. The most recent version of the OS is 11.6.6. Although my laptop is set to “Automatically keep my Mac up to date” this hasn’t happened. When I try to download the software from the App Store the response is, “finding update...” but it never does.
Is there another trusted source to download this (and any other future) update?
TIA
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
Try restarting in Safe Mode. Check Software update while in Safe Mode. If the update appears, download it while in Safe Mode.

i have seen some users here seeing issues with having auto-updates not being applied when they become available. and i have also seen others that have auto-updates setup and having trouble trying to manually update their mac. what i will suggest is to turn off auto-updates, restart your mac, and then try and manually try updating through system preferences > software update.
FWIW, i prefer to leave auto-updates disabled and instead apply them manually when presented through software update. the only thing i have set as "automatic" is "Install system data files and security updates" which happen in the background.
Nope. Thanks for your reply Jeffrey but it's still hung up, "Checking for updates..."
well since that didn't work, you should follow fuzzymo's advice and attempt the update while the mac is booted in safe mode. please refer to the link which they provided to implement that.
Yea! That solved the issue Fuzzymo. Thanks!
