Think you are asking about an update to Big Sur ? Your Profile is showing Big Sur 11.2 and there is an 11.2.3 avaiable. If correct there are ways to perform this. One can restart the computer in Safe Mode - Shift - key immediately at startup. It does some thing before eventually loading the Log In screen so loads slowly. This mode will only load Apple Software and Fonts thereby eliminating any Third Party software from interfering with the update process. Open System Preferences >> Software updates and it should see any updates for Big Sur and ask if you want to download and install.
