Confused about update process

Hello, very much a noob in the MacOS department, recently upgraded a late 2014 MacBook Air from Big Sur to Sonoma, it worked and booted flawlessly. Just now tried to update to 14.6.1 and it has been stuck on boot without progressing for a good 30 minutes. I started the update from the update center in General settings. Did I miss a step? Should have I done something else? I thought you could update a Mac normally even if patched, maybe I misunderstood.
