I'm trying to prep hundreds of laptops with the latest macOS and this is a huge pain in my butt. You might want to consider putting yourself in others' shoes.

I've had to do the same, it's just part of the job so I'm not changing my stance over someone doing their job. I assume you don't mind the patch tuesdays which are much more frequent?

Which one of these will fully reinstall MacOS without losing data and erasing settings?

You can use the InstallAssistant.pkg

I have used the ventura rc ones to update my ventura vm many times as the betas won’t update on vms ota unless it is sequoia. Nevertheless the full installers do work for vms.

As this is a public release however I actually didn’t use the full installer to update the vm this time. It was one rare time when ota actually worked for the vm.

It is still good to get the full installers however to make bootable usb - a very useful tool when things go awry - and much faster than internet recovery.

sounds like that literally is your job, not a hobby. So why complain about it? You're getting paid to wear those shoes

Since when did Apple charge for the updates?

Still getting the ghost Updates Available notification on 14.6.1 even though there aren't any

I was getting those too. I didn’t realize it was a thing/didn’t search for it. Will keep an eye out for it on the new update.

I got one last night...

I'm running an old 4tb hgst external hdd just itching to stop working and on 14.6 it ran just fine. Surprisingly fast. I updated to 14.6.1 and became friends with molasses or my 2019 mbp 64 gb ram did. I thought it was an indexing issue so I left the mbp on to let the drive do its thing, but to no avail. My iCloud Drive isn't. uploading currently. Prob just need to reboot. I keep the mbp next to a portable ac and when it gets the spin ball I aim the ac onto the computer and the external drive. Still sluggish. Ive had to walk away from it a few times now out of irritation. Granted I'm running an old waiting to die spin drive externally, but the performance change has been distinct and annoying.

I believe that is just lazy reporting

It seems that a bad Screen Sharing bug from 14.6.0 is gone.

Going to give it a day or two before I rest easy though.

I'm calling this fixed, thank goodness.

I don't like the fact that it was a regression; regression bugs make me worry about what developers and testers are doing.

Hilarious stuff given the horrible, horrible inconvenience of clicking a button and rebooting to get the upate.

Yes! I call the release of an update, which you are not forced to install, "support."

And what part of "trying to prep hundreds of laptops" will be convenient?

Weird. Did you install?

Yes, it updated to 14.6.1 with no issues as far as I can tell. No idea why it was in the update list twice.
