Apple Seeds Fourth macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 Beta to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

I have this as well on the GM of 10.13. Absolutely, utterly shocking. I have an encrypted drive and a firmware password but this makes all that pointless, might as well have no security at all.
I reported it in the bug reporter but of course that's just a black hole so I had no idea if it was seen or not.
I'm going to try this beta and see if it's fixed... but the fact that this is in the current 10.13.0 public build on millions of Macs is shameful. Apple should be raked across the coals for this one.
Yes, people only keep asking a hundred times because like me, they've already re-installed the profile and it STILL doesn't show up as recommended to install.
Most people think logically. They don't normally think to do something over that they know they've already done unless they are specifically told otherwise. Nowhere in the app store is any of this explained.
In fact the date on the app store suggests to me re-installing High Sierra would install an OLDER version! HAHA!
I don't know any other way to say this, but if Apple is saying you need to go through the whole hour long process again, well F them. Some people won't even bother.
There has to be a better way.
I figured it was quite major, and could affect many more machines than just my own. I was happy to use a little "support" hack and get ahold of somebody via chat. They had me take a disk image and send it in for analysis; at least to me, I'm glad to see they took it seriously.
But yeah, that really is a shocking miss on their part. This was never broken for me before the supplemental update was released, so that must have broken something.
I just had this happen on my administrator account. On my normal non-admin account, I have to Touch ID or enter password to get back in.
The performance of the second beta hasn't been great and I'd like to update. However, after reinstalling the profile twice beta 3 has yet to show up for me.
Also, there is no such thing as a full installer of a minor MacOS beta - only release versions and some major version betas get those.
I have had the update offered on one of my computers, the other two have not had it offered. All three were on build 17B42a and have betas enabled.
LOL! Have fun arguing with yourself or go read the 10.13.1 Beta 3 thread. It's a 5GB update then if you would rather look at it that way and IT DOES NOT SHOW UP AS AN UPDATE!
Luckily, beta 4 just now showed up as a 2.08 GB update on my Mac running beta 2.
[doublepost=1508785621][/doublepost]how do you "re-install" the beta profile? I've tried changing the settings in the app store, ive gone to the apple beta site to reinstall the beta installer profile, nothing works...
So weird. I'm on 10.13.0, using an administrator's account, and always have to type my password. How do I reproduce this?
Wow that is a serious issue! Fortunately for me it has never happened on my 2011 MacBook Pro 17" or my 2017 MacBook Pro 15". I had some wake from sleep issues on t (the laptop simply wouldn't wake requiring a restart via the power button) on the 2011 MacBook Pro during the beta releases but that was corrected with the macOS 10.13 GM release.

I honestly have no idea. I made no settings changes, and confirmed no settings changes were made, going both from Sierra to HS and to the supplemental update. With nothing reconfigured on my end, I unfortunately couldn't tell you.
It's only happening on both my 2012 MM an MBP while it falls asleep by itself, it won't happen if I put it to sleep manually.
Edit 1: The issue is still there, and I put it to sleep manually, WTF Apple.
Edit 2: You should look in your Preferences/Security/Require Password....after sleep or screen saver begins, I am positive I never changed that setting, it was set to 5 minutes now.
Edit 3: I only checked my MM, my MBP is still updating.
Edit 4: Updated my MM, same there, was also set to 5 minutes while I never changed it.

Wish they’d get the iMessage iCloud syncing back up and running. It worked flawlessly for me in the early iOS 11 betas, I miss it
Not only that, email is out of sync as well in between iOS and my Macs too.
Really? I hadn’t noticed if mine was, I’ll have to pay more attention. My email is usually open in full screen anyway, so it may be by the time I look at it it’s finally synced.
Thanks for the tips. It's so strange. Yours looks like a settings change was made via the update, and that selecting a different option fixed things? Mine actually never changed from "immediately," and it still has the issue.
