@kdfrawg The idea crosses my mind constantly
@peemee Combo and it finally worked. The updater has been flaky since the Mavericks update. I need to wipe the laptop and do a fresh install.
Mac now informing me it will restart in 60 seconds to install the update it already installed twice.
Whatever, idiot.
Then tells me updates have changed. Goes back to saying, "No updates available"
Update went through again. Everything came back up. App Store popped up and said "Updates Available".
10.12.5…,,again
I said, "Go for it, idiot", because have moved my work over to my Windows box and don't really care what the thing does at this point.
Downloads it AGAIN.
Pauses a bit and instead of rebooting, it grumpily displays "No updates available"
Update completed. Reboot worked. OS reports current version. All is well in Mudville. Then, App Store says, "You have updates available".
It's the OS update I just friggin installed.
Click update because I desperately want this thing to just shit itself beyond salvation. Nothing would give me more joy at this point.
Update is going slowly but without the occasional screen flashes which I know is the MacOS updater desparately trying to tell me, "I know you said remind me later but you have updates", but it can't because..no desktop.
I have a time estimate this time and the progress bar is moving.
@streakmachine If only the drive home had the options available to you in Los Santos.
Downloading 10.12.5 and installing manually because the App Store updater is junk.
MacOS update.
Click restart. Update starts. Desktop suddenly comes back. Restart again. Update starts. Progress bar has not moved in forever.
Last time this happened, I like never brought it back to life agin.
I'm so over this thing.
