Download Catalina from AppStore and install it.
It will be fine. I did the same. Then updates will show up as normally do.
Got a tip for us?

I recommend Catalina. Seriously. You gotta do your own research though if you still need to use 32-bit apps or if you're a DJ and need to adapt something or something about your workflow with the iTunes library (? I'm not a DJ), other than that I'm finding that the posts here make the problems seem blown way out of proportion. If you read closely there is little substance, a lot of knee jerk reactions to unsubstantiated claims. If you do upgrade, my prediction is one day you'll install 10.15.1 that will fix bugs you never knew existed in 10.15.0. I see the same whining every release, whether it's macOS or iOS. Sure there are bugs. Sure there seems to be more whining this time. It's a new feature release. New feature releases tend to have more visible bugs than 'under the hood' performance/stability releases. Sure some people will be affected. But 99% of people will never actually experience a bug that has any affect on getting work done. I stand by that statistic even though I pulled it out of my ear. Unless you don't care about the new features and are satisfied with Mojave (and still don't feel confident about Catalina), I'd say do the research, then go for it.

It's the other way round for me - Catalina now lets me boot up fine from an eGPU (Sonnet550/Vega56), whereas I never could with Mojave!
The Feedback app is for people who are on the betas. I'm currently on 10.15.1 beta 1.
Which just met the DYORtard who never heard of the term 'mission critical'.
Catalina is a jerky slug for any power user. The opinions of some rando who downloads torrent movies and rips CDs and fights on Reddit means nothing to a power user.

Spotlight search it or look in System/Core Services/Apps
Yep I know but hopefully it’s the same fixes as the betathey have released a supplemental update, not 10.15.1
You don’t read the forums then. The music so memory leak alone caused misery for a lot of people. Artwork is a mess. Random crashes for me. It’s not been a good release
You might find something here (for the Apple TV), that also applies to the app?
How to Disable Auto-Playing Video Previews on Apple TV
With the release of tvOS 13, Apple brought new features like Apple Arcade to Apple TV as well as a number of changes to the set-top box's interface. One of those changes includes autoplaying trailers on the Home screen. The new content previews on the Home screen make interacting with your...

Edit: Doesn't seem like it...and I couldn't find anything in the app, neither...
At least nice that it mutes all, once you've muted one...

Anyone that has some basic sense of how macOS works would decide to push back annual software upgrade for a few months at least. Those using Catalina on day one (GM or offical release) either can handle bugs or may not have an idea how bad initial macOS release can be.
I hope others will follow your example and report this too .
Sidecar works. You have to logout of icloud on both devices. Login. Restart both devices. And then it should work.
seriously, just get real for a moment, Mojave didn’t have near this much complaints after launch.
Apple OFFICIALLY recommends Mac Mini users TO NOT upgrade to Catalina yet. When was the last time Apple said “please, it’s best to avoid our newest OS until we fix it”?
It is awesome that you don’t have any issues, but just because you do not have any issues, do not accuse many people out there that they are lying or over exaggerating things.
Sorry for your issues.
I have now learned not to update MacOS straight away, having been burned too many times.
Given that Apple control the hardware and software I find it amazing how there are always issues. Early adopters are the beta testers unfortunately.

I have two Macs & use both for work. I regularly use IntelliJ, PyCharm, Netbeans, Eclipse, Homebrew, git, +more Dev apps. I also use Linux regularly and do a little work on Windows Server VMs. No one can BS me about which is more stable or does this or that better. I watch movies on Netflix and listen to mainly with Apple Music. I've never fought on Reddit. Catalina is running buttery smooth. I'll accept tard though, which means you get 1 point out of 6, which is an F.
Well I am on GM like a number. Cannot (after having gotten rid of beta profile) upgrade. Trying to download the full official installer fails near the end and will not let me install. Seems like I need to go back to beta/seed to get updates this is messed up.
Catalina has been a mixed bag for for me.
I really like the updates but some issues I've faced:
- AppleID warning in system preferences keeps coming back
- Sidecar randomly stops working and the screen is just frozen. Not sure if it's my work's WiFi network or not, but the fact that it doesn't show "disconnected" on the iPad screen when this happens is a little concerning. I put Slack on it and was wondering why I wasn't getting a response from someone.
- When I lock my computer, sometimes it's not clear if my sidecar display is locked or not.
- I wish there was a wired only option for Sidecar so that if I unplug the wire, it quits sidecar. When I'm at my desk at work and go to a meeting room, I need to unplug my monitors and now manually stop AirPlay for the iPad display.
- Weird stuff with the TV app (haven't tried Music).
- Apple Watch unlock still seems somewhat unreliable. I'm constantly switching between entering the password with the keyboard, touch id, and apple watch unlock.
- Lots of prompts still (app store mostly) that do not allow use of apple watch unlock or touch id.

No I did not because it happens to 0.01% of people and I was one of the 'lucky' ones.
