I got the notification to update to Ventura 13.0.1.

My System Settings had a Restart Now button. Not Upgrade Now.

I clicked Restart Now and was prompted for my password, which I entered. Then the Agree or Disagree screen popped up and I got a message that it had interrupted the restart.

It's like the whole update process was backwards.

I checked some videos of people upgrading and they had Upgrade Now, not Restart Now like I did.

So now I'm like wtf... Is this a bug? Is my installation corrupted? I need this computer for work, so I can't have sketchy stuff going on.

I decide to try and update via Terminal.

I use softwareupdate -i -a and it finds 13.0.1 but hangs after downloading it. Now I'm really like wtf.

I quit Terminal and restart. The weird part is Terminal opens back up on restart. Never seen that before.

This time I do softwareupdate -i -a -R. I'm prompted to terminate Terminal for restart and install 13.0.1 successfully.

Once again, Terminal opens up a restored version when everything is done. I run softwareupdate -l and nothing comes up. My computer is up-to-date.

So my Mac says it's up-to-date with 13.0.1 but that was a hella sketchy update process. Is there a Mac equivalent of System File Checker?

I'd really hate to do a complete system format just because that process gave me bad vibes.
