Ah that would be the 700mb update I had yesterday that I didn't know about. Command line tools. Nice.That works great for the main release, not so much for the command line tools!
Got a tip for us?

The Ventura update went smooth on my M1 and M2 MBA. My 2108 Mac mini was a different matter. It was still on Monterey. After it updated to Ventura 13.1, I had no internet access. I tried changing the DNS, hotspot using my phone, forgetting the network and re-adding etc. and nothing worked. I had to wipe the drive and re-install Ventura in order to have internet and be able to confirm my Apple ID with the Mac mini.
Helpful to see this -- happened to me, too, when I went directly from 12.6.1 to 13.1 RC on a 2019 Intel MBP. The settings window going blank corresponded to the process Apple ID completely failing/shutting down.
Under 13.1 RC, I found that whenever I opened System Settings, the process "Apple ID (System Settings)" was already running. If I force-quit that process, and then selected Apple ID from settings menu, I could use the Apple ID section responsively, for a while, but I would not try to make any significant changes to Apple ID settings such as turning on Advanced Data Protection or signing out of my Apple ID. Wouldn't trust it not to freeze or fail while executing changes and leaving settings in an indeterminate state.
Also saw numerous crash reports occurring during boot up in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ProxiedDevice-Bridge. Sorry, the particulars have been wiped away along with the RC installation.
I haven't seen anything from Apple on this issue -- I did submit a Feedback report-- and of course the final release has the same build number. Your confirming this issue is most helpful, I'm back to a clean install of 12.6.2 and happily productive.
I shall just wait and see.

Looks like they overhauled the TV app and there are some bugs in it. Why did they make significant changes in a minor update? I am experiencing a bug where I can't close out the movie once its full screen. Never had an issue with this app like this and even iTunes.
I skipped Monterey and Big Sur, and Ventura thus far, but a bit worried about lack of security updates on Mojave.
The user interface and some apps 32bit apps keep me on Mojave. I don’t care about security. I thing security by obscurity should work fine with Mojave. I have a M1 Macbook air that came with Monterey and now runs on Ventura. I only use it to install and test the new MacOS versions when they come out (out of curiosity). Otherwise it gathers dust. My choice is a Macbook Pro from 2015 running Mohave. I use it for everything and for many hours daily. To give en example: I’ve deleted the HORRIBLE Books app and I use iTunes 12.6.5.3 to manage my books with my iPads. I use iTunes 12.9.5.5 to manage and transfer my music to all my iPhones including my iPhone 12 mini. I find the music app on Ventura a piece of crap and there both the Music app and iTunes want me to erase the iPhone 12 before I can use it. Erase over 7000 songs in carefully curated playlists. What a joke….
Partly that's because the overwhelming majority of 'normals' (not my words) use their computers as little more than glorified $2k Chromebooks, and realistically could get away with using MacOS V1 providing it was patched to run the latest versions of the most popular internet browsers. Most of the bugs won't even appear on those users' radars. But that doesn't mean users who have encountered what are 'show stopping' issues for them "have no clue what they are talking about". That's a very very myopic and sanctimonious viewpoint.
I do however agree there are usually going to be more contributions from people having issues than from people who don't have issues, which skews things disproportionally, because those users without issues are less likely to post to say so. Exhibit A: the Whining Mac Studio thread.

Same thing happened to me. Turned out I needed to not only disable the Little Snitch firewall, but uninstall and delete it from my Mac before I could connect to the internet and complete the Ventura installation.
I normally use LS but, luckily I believe I had removed it a while back and forgot to reinstall. It used to be my Plex server and now it is sitting around gathering dust. I still don't know what caused the problem. It was not a good Apple night for me on Tuesday. lol
The only thing I've seen close to this, I just saw today trying to start the 13.1 download and install.
Whether installing app updates or checking system settings, prompts for administrator credentials accepted my admin account with no problem... except for the attempt to start the 13.1 update.
It prompted for administrator credentials, but wouldn't take them.
My standard (non-admin) account, for some unknown reason, worked, and the download is in progress.
I have zero clue why an admin prompt would only take my standard account.
As always, it's YMMV depending on which applications and peripherals that you use, but I haven't had any issues with Ventura. Annoyances aplenty with the confusing system preferences changes, but no actually issues.
This is on my M1 Macbook Pro that is primarily used at home in clamshell mode.
