Is this update for M1 macs only? I manually hit the update icon in System Preferences and get this - not even 12.3! This is on a Intel Mac Mini.

Have you had any trouble getting this tool to work reliably? The download often hangs, and if it does bother to finish sometimes it won't install or reboot the machine with the -R option.
It does work for me without issues on my 14" I have an alias of update with it to be quick now :p
 
Just a slower then usually rollout I guess
I've usually had the updates by now
Same here. I'd be curious to hear an explanation of why one of my Macs got it but not the other since they're on the same network. Doesn't make much sense to me even if it is a slow rollout.
 
"sudo softwareupdate -laiR --force --verbose" on repeat on my M1 Mac mini and M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14-inch. Nothing here in Norway thus far.

Spinners. Been formatted as APFS for at least 2, maybe 3 years with no issues hooked to the former main (Intel iMac) machine.

Having worked through countless possibilities, the only one left that I think I can try is to reformat with Monterey. However, I've been reluctant to try that because I don't want to potentially lose the drives if it randomly ejects during the formatting process. I don't trust it to stay connected long enough to reformat.

Box is an OWC dual bay, Hardware-selected RAID, set to RAID 0. I think it was a process of selecting RAID-0 on the box, install 2 drives and then use Disk Utlity to format it. Been super stable for a couple of years with none of this unexpected eject stuff. Now I would not bet much on a connection of even 3-4 hours... unless I take it and same cable back to an Intel Mac and then it is as stable as it has been.
Curious. Did you say what year iMac and your interconnect? I'm assuming TB2, but, you know. I've had TB cables go bonkers - might be worth getting another, blowing out the ports on the iMac and RAID, and do a little stress test.

Does anyone have a direct link to the 12.3.1 update? I've tried for 3 hours to get it using "software update -l" but it's always returning no new updates...
 
Cool more bug fixes for 12.3, especially concerning external displays won’t turn on issues. Build 21E258
This isn’t unique to Apple. My HP system has the same issue and it occurs far more times than on my Mac. Yes it’s on latest Windows 10 and drivers.
