I have Brave installed on my Mac mini 2014 with SSD, and I haven’t seen that yet, on 10.15.2 at least
Update to 10.15.3 and enjoy some random automation.

It is certainly perplexing, given that 1) it does not happen every time (on my Mac Mini), and 2) it has never happened on my Mac Book Air.I have Brave installed on my Mac mini 2014 with SSD, and I haven’t seen that yet, on 10.15.2 at least

you mean it happens with more apps?
So 10.15.3 still haven't fixed any of the issues I had since 10.15. Literally is still the same:
- 2-3h less of battery life compared to Mojave
- Weird bug with column view in finder (gets stretched randomly)
- Bug with some thumbnails in Finder
- Location services on all the time in menu bar
- Music app still feels like an alpha...
I'm very disappointed with Catalina, hope 10.16 fix this mess...
No, I can still use it fine, it would be a pain to do a clean install, there are just some bugs that I expected to be fixed by now.Have you installed a fresh copy just to check?
Your upgrade screen is normal.I might need a clean install too. My computer does work seemingly without any major issues, however during the update to 10.15.3, this screen greeted me. Can anyone confirm if this is normal or not? Up until this update it was always a black screen with a white Apple logo and a progress bar in the middle. Thank you!

Thank you for confirming it! I would have done more research but that screen really scared me and it was almost midnight here in Hungary.Your upgrade screen is normal.
Yes, now that I looked into it that happens to be the case. It started with the previous version, I guess I just left my laptop there to update and didn’t notice at that time.No, this screen is not new to this update. This screen has been present since at least 10.15.2 betas.

When is this screen appearing? I haven't seen it on my MacBook for any 10.15.X update?No, this screen is not new to this update. This screen has been present since at least 10.15.2 betas.
Yeah I really liked the fact that the update screens felt so unified across all the devices, iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and Apple TV (I don’t know about the Homepod). I am not sure I like this change, it reminds me to macOS recovery/safe boot screen, that is what made me scared.I think they would do well to enable dark mode on that screen if the update is taking place in the night.
To me it appeared during the update and the MacBook spent 95% of its time on this screen until the 10.15.3 update was successfully installed.When is this screen appearing? I haven't seen it on my MacBook for any 10.15.X update?

Well, looks like I spoke too soon! I just started up my late 2012 Mac Mini, and after signing in, the Brave browser was launched! Yet for my 2018 Mac Book Air, that does not happen. Sure is perplexing. The only difference between just now and all other times since installing OS 10.15.3 is that my Mac Book Air is sitting next to my Mac Mini (normally it is in my bedroom downstairs).
In any event, after I pick up my new 2018 Mac Mini tomorrow down n Portland, I will do all the set up on Sunday, ie, fresh, clean installation of OS 10.15.3, and then migrating/copying needed files, folders, etc. from the SuperDuper! backups for both of my Macs I will be doing soon.
Don't thing "cherry picking" files from my backup would make much difference, if any. When I did the clean installation of OS 10.15.3, and then migrated/copied files, folders, settings, etc. from the backup, I let the process handle it. Did not have the "phantom" startup issue for 3 days. Also, it does not happen on my Mac Book Air.I suggest you cherry-pick files from your backup and copy them to your new computer. Takes more time, yes, but ensures that nothing that is not needed is bundled along with and creates the same issues as before on another system.
Also, look into Brave's own settings and your login and startup settings in System Preferences. There should be something that is asking for Brave to open at login.
By any chance, do you have Brave open when you shut down the computer occasionally, along with having the option to reopen windows when logging back in checked? It is possible that sometimes Brave is open when you shut down the computer so when you restart it, Brave is fired back up and sometimes you do not have Brave open before shutting down, so Brave doesn't open back up. The whole thing can happen so unconsciously that it might seem as random behaviour on Brave's part.
Do get back. Good luck resolving the issue!
First, where are you located?Wife just got a new Macbook Air and she cannot get it to download Catalina. Keeps saying internet connection lost , noticed theres a lot of others with the same problem. We dont have any problems with our internet.
First, where are you located?
Second, who is your ISP? Along with that, what is your internet download "tier"? By that I mean the speed of downloads provided by your ISP. Our download speed, supplied by XFinity, is 200 Mbps.
Third, maybe try during "off hours".
I have a 2018 Mac Book Air, and no issues with downloading.
It has never appeared for me. I am also doing the beta tests, so I've seen the update process many times within the past few months, I haven't seen it.That can't be. Once the update gets downloaded, the computer restarts, and after a while, most likely post another restart, this screen comes up and the system goes about updating to restart one last time. You can take note of this the next time you update.
