MDE apparently blocks MacOS Monterey 12.1 / 12.2 upgrades?
The last days we have encountered a situation where the upgrade to MacOS Monterey 12.1 or 12.2 fails. After several reboots the machine returns to the state before the upgrade started, with the ad...
My upgrade to from 12.2 to 12.2.1 worked. I'll let you know about my colleague (from 12.1) probably on Monday.
This apparently seems to be a "hit and miss" kind of issue. Sometimes, it works, sometimes it doesn't, at least with 101.56.62. My colleague upgraded from 12.1 to 12.2.1 and he was successful on first attempt. But I had multiple issues with 101.56.36. Either 101.56.62 improved the chance of success or maybe we were just lucky.
We seem to have more Hits than Misses.

No reports of Upgrade issues from 12. to 12.2 so far.- I'm running 101.60.91 (the latest from auto-update) and I've been able to upgrade from 12.2.1 to 12.3 without any issue.
I'll be curious to know if others have the same results. - They seem to have updated Defender to take into account a few issues in regards to the latest Monterey releases in the last few days:

Especially in version: 101.59.50, maybe this version is more compatible now with Monterey upgrades ?
