Today when I updated my mac to 14.1.1, the mac shut down and when I restart it, the update continues without any issues. It did the same last august but never before that. Is this something I should worry about? I had no error and the update installed without any issues.
Got a tip for us?

14.1.1 is causing massive memory spikes in some applications. Is there a way to downgrade? Or update to a different OS?
I am just concerned about a Widget editor issue in 14.2 Beta 2, so I am holding off on the betas for now.
Reason why I skipped Beta 1 was because I wanted to be sure all the changes from 14.1 were merged into 14.2, which we didn't see with iOS 17.0 and 17.1. (We saw this with the ringtones)
Upgrading to 14.1.1 from the latest Ventura on my 2018 Mini i5 has been a train wreck.
A few of the big issues I've been seeing are:
• Time Machine not backing up on ext. HDD (Mac OS Extended Journaled format). Have tried disconnecting from the net, waiting for iCloud Drive sync to complete, turning off Apps Using iCloud Drive, etc.
• External drive/s unmounting randomly.
• Apps become unresponsive/failing
I'd love to go back to Ventura but can't do that easily with Time Machine. I'd have to clean install a Ventura OS and then Migrate Things over from Time Machine. My plan tentatively is to hope the drive indexes in the next few days and then hope Sonoma fixes those things in future updates. 😒

I keep a NVMe in an enclosure and have a base install of 10.15 thru 14.x always up to date in APFS folders for this reason. I also have Disk images of 10.2 thru 10.14 on another external drive ready to deploy with CCC. Lesson I learned a long time ago is to always have a backup image of the OS I want to boot or up/downgrade to. Not for everyone but it works for me.
That's a smart idea.
Surprisingly, my (Sonoma) system has started to worked much better. I guess it got everything indexed and I turned off Time Machine because that was running constantly. I know from experience that the OS 'quality of life' will go up with each new release.
Are you able to boot to Internet Recovery? If you can, maybe try a reinstall over itself from there?
Deleted the HDD, and still has some issues; keeps in the reboot loop.
I'm returning it, it was a work laptop. Fingers crossed they approved a new one. I won't update to Sonoma 14.1.1 in my personal one
Safari is still broken. Onn some tabs I leave left open and come back to them, the page is completely blank, no text in the link bar and no refresh page button. It's completely dead. I have to go backwards, then forward again for the page to reopen.
Apple Support got me settled on this. Had to take the (backup) drive off my USB hub and go straight into the Mini.
