Yes, got that after the Catalina update. I just clicked on "Details" and chose to set it to default settings. Went away.
Got a tip for us?

macOS Big Sur Installation Failed: 'An Error Occurred While Installing the Selected Updates'

I solved my installation failure by rebooting in 'safe mode' first. Hold down the Shift key when rebooting.
Sigh. Now stuck at apple logo and full progress bar, for quite awhile. This update is a real pain.
Mine took around 40 minutes to download and install. I am from Michigan with no VPN

I restarted and redownloaded when it was stuck @ 12.18gb for a while. I downloaded fast and it started installing quickly. It went from 15 mins to restart within a seconds.
I got mine installed. But it is quite funny that the first thing I saw when logging in was "Your computer restarted due to a problem"
Hey all, thought I would let you know that Big Sur downloaded, and I'm running on it now. Seems smooth, the zoom behavior is still the same where it doesn't remember my exact level of magnification but it's more of a frustration since it doesn't seem to stop anything from running. Feels very smooth overall. Have been opening and closing my apps and all but one seems to work and the one that doesn't just hasn't had the Big sur update released yet.
Clicking 'Restore Defaults' didn't seem to do anything. Neither did a restart.
However, unchecking 'Automatically keep my Mac up to date' and then unchecking every box under 'Advanced', going back out of this screen and then back in, I was able to do a manual check for updates, at which point it started working normally. It's downloading now and we'll see how it goes from here. Hope this helps someone.
Download on a fresh restart took less than 10 mins, Ashburn VA.
Update on the completion.
Update on the completion.
I gave up after a half hour and rebooted. Got to the Big Sur background and it asked me to log in. Now stuck at another full progress bar (only for a few minutes so far, but i Am not Hopeful)
Another 23 Minutes after the second restart! But going smoothly 😁 I'm still in MI using Xfinity internet without VPN
I'm 1 hour in. Download completed. The install has been going on about 20 minutes. I have "About 18 minutes left" but each minute is about 5 actual minutes with several screen refreshes so far. Midwest US. No VPN.
Nervous about rebooting it while it is still in the "install phase". Don't want to risk corrupting the install. I think I may just wait it out.
I'm in Big Sir 11.0.1 on a 2016 MacBook Pro 15 inch. Everything seems smooth so far. All the apps that I use are working with no issues.
