11.6.4 update?

[jdw13]

Should we update to Big Sur 11.6.4?
It seems some are reporting Sleep Wake crashes and it would help to know if this is a general problem so it would be better to wait. For those who have taken the plunge and updated, please indicate your experience.

I have had no issues with the 11.6.4 update on my work 2020 M1 mini as well as my personal 2018 & 2014 minis. Everything seems to be exactly the same as it was with 11.6.3. Although, with that being said, I do not utilize sleep on any of these systems.

I installed 11.6.4 on my late 2013 15" MBP and it is running well, but I also have sleep disabled (it's taken over server duty since the battery is toast).

Installed on a 2019 iMac 27" and a 2015 macbook pro 13" . No problems so far .

I have problems on 11.6.4 (crashes on sleep + can't stream videos in Safari), but I already had those problems in 11.6.3.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) updated from 11.6.3 without problems, with user-installed internal 480 GB SSD, external display, gigabit ethernet adapter, two USB HDDs, Apple Keyboard. As with other updates, only quirk was that, after update finished (taking ~20 minutes with more than one boot in process) I had to raise and lower the display in order to get login prompts to the external display.

I had experienced some sleep issues before (Catalina and Big Sur) and run with Power Adapter plugged in and:

• TimeMachineEditor set to backup every day at 3:32 AM
• "Battery" Schedule set to wake up every day at 3:31 AM
• "Battery" Power Adapter with all but "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically..." checked
• and sleep settings as shown below

I seem to be the unlucky one. I upgraded my MacBook Air this morning and have had repeated crashes when waking from sleep. The Apple TV app is also hanging constantly and indefinitely now where it worked before. I'd upgrade to Monterey, but I have abysmal connection speeds and the last two times I tried I got a "we can't complete upgrade" error after waiting 3 or 4 hours. I plan to take the McBook to work where it shouldn't take quite so long, and will hopefully be able to finish the process.
