A lot of people on M1 based machines were unable to upgrade to 15.4 unless they did a DFU restore. I wonder if this addresses that issue.

It did not.I wonder if this fixes the game Metro 2033 Redux and allows it to run ? Metro 2033 Redux ran great in MacOS 15.3.2 and stopped working in MacOS 15.4.
Why doesn't Apple just list the fixed bugs?
I took the patch notes as meaning unmentioned bug fixes in addition to the listed/hyperlinked security patches. Hence the speculation and hopes here for what bugs were fixed.About the security content of macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 - Apple Support

I have a 2021 MBP w/ M1 Pro that could not upgrade to 15.4 despite command line, safe mode, recovery, reinstall, etc. I still don't see the 15.4.1 option in Software Update (Settings or command line) but downloaded the full installer linked above and am happy to say that after half an hour and a reboot, I'm successfully upgraded to . . . 15.3.2. ☹️Hoping this fixes an issue I have seen with a very small percentage of my M1 fleet not being able to update to 15.4. Will have to test soon.
I have exactly the same problem since 15.4 on my m4 iMac, and upgrading to 15.4.1 doesn't seem to solve this problem. Interestingly, my older Intel iMac doesn't have this problem with 15.4 or 15.4.1... Did the problem gone for you after upgrading to 15.4.1?Not sure if anyone else encountered this but on 15.4 (m1 macbook pro) my Messages app would just close, no errors, just sometimes randomly closes. Hope this fixes that. I only saw a few others post on Reddit and the apple community forums
It hasnt closed on me yet but I think i need more time to tell.

After adding message app to "Full Disk Access" under "Privacy & Security" of System Setting, it has been on without closing!! You might want to try this.It hasnt closed on me yet but I think i need more time to tell. Sometimes it would stay open for a day, sometimes for an hour
My M1 was so bad I had to go to the Apple store and have them fully install MacOS 15.4, firmwares and all. A full re-install on a wiped drive didn't fix this mess of an issue so I would be very interested to know if this little update fixed it, however, from what I am reading it is not really fixing anything but causing even more issues. I'm very weary of 15.4.1 now.Hoping this fixes an issue I have seen with a very small percentage of my M1 fleet not being able to update to 15.4. Will have to test soon.
Well. Hosed my M4 mac mini. Got a weird password request to access the startup disk. Rebooted several more times than told me Mac OS must be REINSTALLED. Chose reinstall instead of restore from time machine and sitting now at FOURTEEN HOURS and FOUR MINUTES. I had several custom settings to be able to use my music hardware Apogee duet and UAD satellite that will be GONE. Will take me a full day reinstalling settings, drivers, and whatever to get that gear to work.
