Also, some other posts suggests that you can try force quitting in activity monitor the process called com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService and then rerun software update. It might have a slightly different name on different macOS versions, so just search "Brain" in Activity Monitor and force quit that process and then rerun software update?

So, it might be worth trying different networks and see if that helps? Furthermore, something you might wish to try is to boot up in safe mode and try software update again. Failing that, try rebooting again normally and see if software update can connect to Apple's servers there. Usually doing a reboot in safe mode, reboot in normal mode and/or changing the wifi fixes the issue. | |

Is softwareupdated running? If so, kill it in Activity Monitor and try again.
