update to MacOS 15.1 failing

On a MacBook Pro, I am trying to update from 15.0.1 to 15.1 but it is failing both in normal and safe mode.


The update seems to download OK and then comes up with the 30 minutes remaining message and then getting the error message as per the attached image.


Would welcome any suggestions


Many thanks

Following my troubles with this and help from Apple Support, I did manage to get the update in stalled. It is interesting to note that a couple of days ago I had three calls from Apple US technical support asking if I could go through what happened and also upload some system logs. It seems that Apple engineering believe there might be an issue and I assume are working to resolve the problem.

I finally managed to update my 2019 MBP 16inch, using the update to 15.1.1 (just released) – but only using safe mode, and it took at least 45 minutes to complete the upgrade. On my newer MacStudio it took 2 minutes! As some contributors previous suggestion I also 'turned off Bluetooth' and 'emptied my Bin' – whether that had anything to do with the success is unknown. Try safe mode again and let the update run...
