Hi everyone, I have a iMac 25' from 2015,
I downloaded the 10.15.4 update and when I restart, the update doesn't install even though it says it will install in the next restart.
Any way to force it to update? Thanks for any help.

Do you get any error messages?
Try running "First Aid" with Disk Utility and see if that helps.
If you have a bootable backup you could try running the Update from there.
If that doesn't work I would try downloading a new installer.

I would uncheck "Automatically keep my Mac up to date", then restart holding down the shift button to start in safe mode which will clear caches. I usually log in as well on under safe mode but that might not be required. Then restart, go back into Software Update and click Update Now.

If that all works you can recheck "Automatically keep my Mac up to date".
