My experience with OpenCore has been so far great, but started seeing weird behaviour on my MBP 15" mid 2014 - I don't seem to be able to invoike OTA software updates to the system, the preference menu either doesn't load at all or takes forever to load, but won't download anything even if I click on it

any suggestions please?
OTA does not work with OpenCore, cause macos thinks that the system partition has been altered and loads the full OS.
Well at least in never worked on any of my machines, but this is what I read about OTA not working.
When the preference menu does not load or takes forever. I user Lockrattler to manually install the updates. https://eclecticlight.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/lockrattler437.zip

Yeah, I use that tool too to get security updates… the OTA updates did work previously but not since I upgraded to Sonoma.

Thanks for confirming this! I’m getting M4 Max machine this weekend and my old laptop will be downgraded to original OS it came with, 10y of hard work is a lot :)
