10.11.4 killed my 'start screen saver' hot corner. I've tried turning the feature off and back on, restarted, etc, with no luck. Any advice?

As useful as this feedback is... mine works.

Try another corner?

Obviously. Tried that, doesn't work either.

Did you update the recovery partition as per my instructions above?

Will this update Recovery Partitions on Core Storage volumes without having to revert them first? I understand reverting lets you see them but is it necessary for the process to work?

Yes it will. You don't have to revert it for the process to work.

But I prefer to see them in my startup manager and therefore reverted them. This is especially useful if you dual-boot. On one of my computers I dual-boot mavericks and el capitan and these and their respective recovery partitions all show up in my startup manager after reverting core storage making them much easier to select.

I want to do a clean install from a USB-Stick. If I re-download the full El Capitan installer again via the App Store, do I then still have to run the update to 10.11.4 or does the installer already include the latest version?

If you download the full installer it will be 10.11.4 and no update will be needed.

The 2010 MacBook Pro I'm using has a faulty discrete graphics card and today's update now uses integrated graphics for video, so no crashes with YouTube embeds and going full screen, Atom doesn't crash the system on close, and iMovie opens fine without having to change the settings on gfxCardStatus, and I can actually use Pixelmator on this machine now. So whatever changes they made to make it a little stabler is working and is GREATLY appreciated!!

But yeah, it took like a hour to install.

I also noticed graphics improvements, particularly on my eGPU. After getting the 10.11.4 update and reinstalling automate-eGPU.sh, I was able to play StarCraft II with my macbook's CPU temperature hovering around 70 degrees Celsius instead of 96. That's roughly a 26 degree reduction in temperature! That's a lot more efficient!

Finally fixed my Creative Xmod problem where the volume was greyed out previously.

Hoping this finally fixes my usb3 enclosure disconnecting 5 seconds after turning it on
