Hi CypherGhost,


When you go to about this mac does it show that you are updated to 10.15.2?


Go to the Apple menu and come down to about this mac and see what it says for the operating system version.


If it doesn't say 10.15.2 you can try downloading it manually from Apple, MacOS 10.15.2 combo update and see if it will allow you to install it that way.


Another thing you could try is booting into Safe mode, hold down shift key when you restart and hold it down until you see the login screen. It will say safe boot in the upper right corner in the menu bar. Login in and see if you can apply the update via system preferences > Software update.


I hope this helps and Happy New Year!
