"Are you sure it's "D" you are using when restarting?"

Yes, I am 100% sure. But I understand why you are asking: I am surprised at it myself! You see, my original plan was to see if I can somehow repair the system using "D", then try "Cmd+R". But, to my surprise, D invoked the options I mention so I sticked with that. I have absolutely no idea why it works like that for me, seems most irregular. Maybe only "Cmd+R" will work for you?

As for you only having an option to reinstall Sierra… can you remind me what version you are upgrading from? If it's Sierra, then it's understandable. I was upgrading from High Sierra PB1 to PB2 and from PB2 to PB3 and, AFAIK, this function reinstates the most recent version of the current system.

Ugh. I hope I am making myself clear .

You are, and yes, I was upgrading from Sierra...so looks like something different must have happened for you. I've tried cmd+R many times, but that's where it just gives me the option to do Sierra

Yeah, you will not get the option for High Sierra under Sierra.

For me, the problems started between PB1 and PB2, I had upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra PB1 without any problems… go figure.

This sucks guys. Hopefully PB4 fixes the reboot issue when installing from Sierra.

You know what? I will find a bug report, maybe they will take notice.

This version is better in some ways, e.g. it lets my MB sleep now, instead of shutting it down, but, on the other hand, it has broken Photos...

Update: the upgrade from 17A315i (i.e. DB4/PB3) to 17A330h (DB5/PB4) went pretty similar. The only difference? Now Cmd+R works (as it is supposed to), not D.

Photos now works!
