Don't know what that means; I'm using OCLP Sonoma and it repeatedly shows that it's fully updated despite being on 14.4. Will prob. do a reinstall if the next update doesn't appear either. While looking into possible causes I noticed the "Install system data files and security updates" - but I've seen no mention of this in any OCLP area so in the absence of any info. have turned auto off.
Always read the docs before updating -
Did you try 'forgetting' the wifi network and rejoining it, as suggested?Thanks K2 for your warning. I understand your reaction but actually wi-fi was working perfectly Ok on 14.x (and before) over many OTAs up to 14.4.1. There was a moment were auto-joining wouldn't work after the update but it was solved easily, and actually wi-fi itself was not broken.
FWIW, my current issue stems after @hvds upgraded to 14.5b2 with a very similar machine to mine (MBP5,2) with declaredly no issues. It teased me to do it, had no visible issues also but didn't check the wifi, so I don't know if it broke with b2 or b3. But, yes, I decided to go b3 "alone" on my cMBP, hence my question.
This won't be a big problem for me except the pain that I'll have to reinstall 14.4.1 from scratch and import the TM backup... And probably calm me down from updating (unnecessarily) to bleeding edge OS/OCLP versions
Tx for the suggestion, I guess i was not clear about "broken" wifi, I mean it's not a question of (auto) joining or forgetting, first there are no networks found/displayed. I can still "disable/enable" the wifi slide-button on the top bar, but even then the slide-button in the System Settings is greyed-out and unresponsive.
I don't know what a firmware update is; presumably part of normal updates or under the title of what I was enquiring about; either way not likely relevant to the question. I've turned the "Install system data files and security updates" off as it looks unlikely that anyone here or on other sites is likely to respond; it does mean that rapid security updates will be delayed.
In this case the firmware being mentioned here is your mac's EFI (bios in PC speak). To make sure you have the latest firmware is to install a copy of the latest officially supported version of macOS for your model of mac. After that grab a copy of SilentKnight to verify it's up to date. SlientKnight can be downloaded here: https://eclecticlight.co/lockrattler-systhist/

Tx all, but never mind, I've booted from my Catalina install and the problem is also there, seems like a hardware or maybe a severe corruption (after all it seems quite a coincidence that this occurred just when I updated to 14.5 b2/b3). Sorry for the noise generated.Thanks K2 for your warning. I understand your reaction but actually wi-fi was working perfectly Ok on 14.x (and before) over many OTAs up to 14.4.1.

It might still still work but is wrong. When you run the root patcher from wherever it will copy your app to:

Just stumbled upon your post. Same problem here since Sonoma 14.4 on a "normal" iMac (no OCLP).
Original question was "From initial thread: 'Note that when booting a supported OS to get firmware updates it must not be booted via OpenCore. Do a PRAM reset on power on and press alt/option to boot directly without OpenCore'... Does this mean that the "Install system data files and security updates" should not be left on "auto." I have no interest in Firmware updates; this was a tangent from a question in response to my question which I should have specified relates to both OCLP and supported OS updates. I've turned it off for both as the only meaningful advice I've seen anywhere is "turn off all auto updates" but as I had them on for months and no OCLP pop up appeared I'm reduced to guessing that one or more occurred and they may bypass OCLP and thus result in getting Security updates ASAP....also carefully read the first post of this thread:
