Apple TV and Mac not updating to the latest software

I have an Apple TV and Apple Mac, in the UK. I always run a check for the latest software when I login. Ever since the last major update was offered, whenever I run an update request, it just hangs at the request stage and nothing further happens. Both devices qualify for the update according to Apple. It would be nice if Apple, at least, would give an official announcement about what is going on. I don’t need anyone to send me down a “rabbit hole” to check requirements, I know what I am doing. Over the last 5 years, I have never had a problem before.

This was intended for any other user who may have a similar issue. This is an Apple site and I would be surprised if they did not keep an eye on the topics discussed here on these forums. It is possibly why it was set up in the first place.
