Long boot time since update to Beta 4

[Killerbob]

Just confirming that this is still an issue after upgrading to Beta 6. 70+ second stop/start in the boot sequence after typing in password, before getting to desktop.

Rather than doing a complete clean install (which can be a pain), have you considered just making a new volume to do a clean install to? That way you can keep your existing stuff alone, but still be able to troubleshoot with a clean install in a separate volume. Then when you're done troubleshooting, just delete the volume.

Use more than one version of macOS on Mac - Apple Support

If you install a compatible macOS on an additional internal or external storage volume, your Mac can start up from either volume.

It is 70 seconds extra when I start up the Mac, and everything else is working. Hence, I won’t worry to much about it until/if it is an issue when Ventura is off beta. I know it is a Ventura/SW combo, and suddenly it will be fixed.

Same here and hoping it will get fixed as well.

Faaaaaaaack.

I uninstalled Bitdefender - it failed to update - to reinstall it, and when I rebooted, the Desktop came straight up after reboot. It literally takes between 7 and 10 seconds for the Desktop to show up after typing in my password.

Bitdefender...

With Bitdefender, a boot from boot to desktop, with a few seconds for password, is 1m:36s.

Without Bitdefender, 20 seconds.

This is great news. I also have Bitdefender installed and reported the issue to Bitdefender. Got a reply back which was useless considering they asked me to provide information I had already given them in the initial report. The only thing extra I did give them on my second response was a file called "BDProfilerTool_0ut.zip". I will leave BD installed only because I am curious as to what their followup response will be.

Do you also have the update error (-2) in Bitdefender?

Yes. I even uninstalled Bitdefender then reinstalled a fresh copy, same results same error message.

Update: Uninstalled Bitdefender and from password entry to desktop is 6 seconds on my M1 Imac.

beta 6 is very quick for me

I would also try booting with all of your external drives disconnected. I have an issue where an USB 3.0 drive I use for media causes the machine to hang during restart for about the same length of time. As soon as I unplugged the drive the start up completed.

I tried that, as mentioned previously.

The long boot time ended up being 100% connected to Bitdefender. With Bitdefender installed, there was an 80 second delay in the boot sequence, and without Bitdefender, it takes 10 seconds from password to desktop (with Thunderbolt and USB devices connected.)

I updated the MacOS 13 working/not working wiki and put in Bitdefender as partially working with caveats.

OK - not a Login item issue. I disabled all the Login Items, including all the background ones, and the issue is still present;

I type in my password, and the boot continues for 10 seconds. Then it sits there for 70 seconds, at around 60%, and then it zips into the desktop, and all is up and running in 80 seconds.

I have the same issue with official Ventura 13.0 and 13.0.1.
Hardware: Mac Studio M1 24Gb GPU 32Gb RAM 512 SSD
External drive: Samsung T5- 512gb
Orico NVME enclosure and wd sn750 1Tb.

I tried to reinstall Mac without formatting the drive but It seems not working.
I still don't know which software is the course of the trouble.
Since I have this issue, my mac sometimes shutdown immediately with an error notification after reboot.
I don't use Bitdefender, recently I installed AE beta, and removed some apps.

Sorry to hear you still have issues. It was such an effort to figure out it was BitDefender causing the delay. Look for the sinner amongst the apps in your taskbar and/or the ones in the startup list. to verify that, see if the issue is there when you use Safe Boot.

I didn’t have any further issues after uninstalling BD. When RC came around, I tried installing BD again, and all is good. After password my Mac Studio gets to desktop is about 12 seconds.
