Did the latest rapid security update break stuff?

I have a 10G adapter and a USB Hub w/ SSD attached to my Mac Mini Pro. After applying the security update, the 10G adapter no longer works and is no longer an option in my network settings and I'm getting random disconnects of the hub w/ SSD, but the drive reconnects almost immediately.


No issues prior, so thinking it has something to do with the security patch? I have tried a few things, no joy on getting the 10G adapter back. Anyone else having odd thunderbolt/USB issues after the latest security update?
 
You can uninstall/remove the rapid security update to see if things go back to the way they were before. Have you tried that? (Settings -> General -> About -> Click the (i) next to the version number -> Remove & Restart)

So I essentially unplugged every USB/thunderbolt peripheral, started with the 10G adapter and had to add one at a time, and in between shutting down the Mini, restarting. If I tried adding multiple in real time, things broke.

I have two of the OWC 10G adapters, both on M-series minis. This one is horribly flakey. I don't know if it's a M2 Pro rig issue or what.
 
I am having all sorts of issues with the Photos app of all things.

Things I have done routinely (copying libraries and opening on other machines) are now failing with all sorts of different error codes.

So far I've been able to rebuild/recover them all but something clearly amiss here.
 
I get Safari can't connect to Private Relay if I use Personal Hotspot with my phone. Everything else is working fine for me.

EDIT: Never mind, got fix by itself.

Local time on 2 iPad has been changed from our time zone to Cupertino or Vancouver BC. We’re living in Quebec…!

In the "Find My" app on my Mac, I see my wife’s Mac being at some 4000 km from our house but I can assure you I see it in the same room as my Mac! Same bad stuff for iPads.

Before this security update, I never experienced this kind of problem.

I just ran this security update on my M1 iMac and am seeing a super weird lag when trying to move windows -- the window animation lags behind the cursor and takes a moment to catch up. Really really weird. If I move a window around fast enough I can get pretty far ahead of the animation 😬
 
I can't take screenshots any more. The only thing that changed was the rapid security update.

Edit: I just tried taking a screenshot and was able to do it this time. I don't know what changed between yesterday and today.

It's so hard to tell if my recent event was caused by the update, but I've never seen it before. This morning, when I did my last 24 hour Time Machine check (I use TheTimeMachineMechanic), I found that my the backups were all not completing. I have three SSD destinations. I also could not browse them. After rebooting all was good. BTW, I did reboot yesterday morning.

Yeah, this is definitely new. This morning I discovered the backups all ran, but something changed about each volume to make the OS think they were new disks - a few times for each of the disks. I noticed a symptom of this yesterday when I was prompted to enter the encryption password for one disk, even though it was saved in my keychain. I suspect that if I had been looking at the screen when the changes happened, I would have seen the usual popup complaining about the disks being ejected.

I'm using the word "disk" when I should be saying "volume" since I have three volumes on each of the three disks.

TheTimeMachineMechanic shows a free space report at the top:

✅ /Volumes/TMSan4 = 1.36 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan4 = 1.36 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan5 = 1.5 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan5 = 1.5 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan5 = 1.5 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan = 357.35 GB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan = 357.35 GB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan = 357.35 GB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan5 = 1.5 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan4 = 1.36 TB
✅ /Volumes/TMSan = 357.35 GB

Before the patch I never saw more than one line per volume.

I might definitely call AppleCare. I don't put much stock in writing feedback on their website.

P.S. Carbon Copy does backups to these disks. I have the backups set to "Use strict volume identification for the destination". It didn't have any problems for each nightly backup since the patch. I'm going to study the logs some to see if I can see what changed on the volumes.

Would anyone be willing to check their logs with

log show --last 24h --predicate '(messageType="error") && (sender="AppleUSBXHCI")'

Yesterday, I got that random disconnect/connect event. I checked the logs saw a USB error leading up to the OS unmounting the drive. The above log query shows a ton of errors for me.

I'm really quite keen to know if anyone with USB connected drives see such errors in their logs.
 
Having issues with lag and other weird choppiness that didn't exist prior to the rapid security update. Annoying.
 
I came out unscathed but a lot of people seemed to have issues. That being said I always restart after an OS update installs and restarts and I seem to have a lot less issues that way.
 
The only hiccup I've noticed so far is that my mouse is not controlling the cursor normally. Sometimes the cursor is unresponsive, or it "jumps" instead of gliding across the screen. I can unfreeze it sometimes by hitting the Esc key. Other times, a right or left click, or both, does the trick. This definitely started after applying the security update.
 
I have also been unable to check flights on my preferred carrier's web site using Safari since the security update. It works fine on my iPad, which was also updated.

I hope Apple comes out with a bug fix soon for this mess they've created.
 
After installing my Fiery Software Manager said it wasn't connected to the internet any more. After several days of waiting to see if it was a server issue it never fixed itself. I uninstalled the security update (happy it was so easy!) and the problem is gone.
