Wordpress 5.8 update - "Uh-oh! We ran into an issue when trying to update WordPress."

As per to the Topic title, I cannot for some reason update to Wordpress 5.8. I’ve tried deleting and creating Local sites from scratch (with nothing - no themes, no plugins) yet still can’t upgrade.

I am also having a problem whereby I have to run Local in “localhost” router mode as opposed to the default “Site Domains” (otherwise I’m faced with another error “Heads-up! Local’s router is having trouble starting.”)

Is anyone else having this same problem? I’d imagine Wordpress 5.8 would be a big topic around here.

Sincerely appreciated for the help.
