Apple Releases Second Public Beta of macOS Monterey 12.5
Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming macOS Monterey 12.5 update to its public beta testing group, with the update coming one day after Apple provided the beta to developers.

Public beta testers can download the macOS Monterey 12.5 update from the Software Update section of the System Preferences app after installing the proper profile from Apple's beta software website.
There's no word yet on what new features or changes might be included in macOS Monterey 12.5, and nothing new was found in the first developer beta. Apple has provided no details on this time, so we may need to wait for release to find out what bug fixes or minor changes might be included.
macOS Monterey 12.5 is likely to be one of the final updates to the macOS Monterey operating system as Apple begins its transition to the next-generation version of macOS.

[HEADING=2]Resolved Issues in macOS 12.5 Beta[/HEADING]
* (Beta 2) Resolves an issue where Software Update may fail to find an available update.
But in all seriousness, either do a Safe Boot to clear out any screwed up caches or run this to kickstart a stuck/stalled software update: sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.softwareupdated
* macOS Big Sur 11.5.1 (20G80) - July 26, 2021
* macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 (20G95) - August 11, 2021. (security update)
* macOS Big Sur 11.6 (20G165) - September 13, 2021
So people need to look at 12.5 Monterey as close to the end. BTW this MacOS 12.5 beta 2 is running without issues on two of my M1 Macs.
