New Features & Changes
Resolved Issues
New Issues

• Screen Savers on Multiple monitors do not function properly: This bug was introduced in Ventura 13.3, and remains unfixed as of the latest (RC3) of 13.4. TLDR: some Apple screensavers, and many third-party screensavers, do not work properly on a system with 2 or more monitors. See Multimonitor Screensaver bug in Ventura 13.3 for details. Changes in 13.4 have improved the behavior on 2 monitor systems (but with occasional failures once per 10 to 20 screensaver starts), but with 3 or more monitors it remains fully broken. Symptoms include the screensaver for screen 1 showing up on screen 2 (most noticeable if the screens are different resolutions) and screens 2, 3 being blank.

Remaining Issues

• Alarms may not play when your display is asleep for a long period of time (FB10086690)
  • Workaround: Make your display not fall asleep in Settings > Lock Screen > Turn display off on ____ when inactive. You can turn your brightness off.
  • Issue present since macOS 13.0
• QuickTime Player does not record the first couple of seconds when you use a Microphone (FB10086556)
  • Workaround: Wait around 5 seconds after seeing the yellow indicator in the Menu Bar, or use a different app for your recording needs
  • Issue present since macOS 12.0
