The ability to tell Microsoft that internet is limited is a useful feature, but isn’t that what the Apple update settings are supposed to achieve?

While I maintain a Windows PC to give us real-time updates for our APC-UPS, our house is set up for Apple. Purpose is for emergencies, not for a forced destructive “clean” install.

I was planning to download and create the 13.6.3 install USB after the 19th when the monthly allowance turns over. I eventually upgraded to Ventura a little earlier than I would have liked, because of the unrequested downloads.Īs we live in remote rural Australia, our internet is mobile only, expensive and limited. This occurred several times over several months but at least didn’t self install. Last year from MacOS Monterey, with the same settings to check only for updates and download only security updates, I found the ~12GB Install MacOS Ventura on both my Macs had been downloaded overnight. Nothing further yet but feels like a sword hanging over my head. I received the same notification last night, clicked ‘find out more’ which took me to the “wonders of Sonoma website”, saw nothing I particularly wanted and closed Safari. Not very happy with Apple over this, but knowing them, why this happened is probably going to remain clear as mud. This incident, however, has shaken my faith in that. One of the reasons I switched from Windows to Mac was how it was easier to control updates and upgrades, with a simple option to simply check for updates without the button implying that I also wanted to install the updates right now. I’m not entirely happy with that, though, because I never gave macOS permission to upgrade. I restarted my Mac, and sure enough, macOS Sonoma was waiting for me when it rebooted.

At this point, I had the bad feeling that my Mac had decided to upgrade to Sonoma without asking me. About half an hour later, I got a notification telling me that my Mac would restart in one minute to finish installing updates. I simply dismissed the notification and kept working. While using my computer as normal, I got a notification promoting macOS Sonoma and encouraging me to upgrade. I was still waiting on some software to fully support Sonoma before upgrading. Previously, I was on macOS Ventura 13.6.3, the latest security update available for Ventura. I’ve not had any issues with macOS updates (thankfully) but I generally wait until April before installing new macOS upgrades. I use a 13-inch 2020 MacBook Pro, Intel-based, four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Yet, earlier today, it decided to install macOS Sonoma without prompting me. This is startling, as I have set macOS to only check for updates and only download security updates automatically, never regular updates or upgrades. Earlier today I was forcefully upgraded to macOS Sonoma without my consent.
