[Jakimo]

Do any Menu Bar apps work?

I had to install AppCleaner to uninstall nektony! That makes me sad.. it was the best app updater app (nektony) for sure

Back to Updatest, glad it still runs

If anyone has Intuit TurboTax 2025 and can check, please let me know. I can probably download to my laptop tomorrow, but was wanting to upgrade my Mac Studio (where TurboTax resides).

iStats Menu, Adobe Lightroom (Both Classic & CC) run fine for me. I don't use Acrobat Pro; I use PDF Expert, and that is working fine.

Little snitch mini anyone?

OneDrive menubar says syncing good and complete, evidence in Finder suggest not so much, I would tag it as broken at least on my Macbook

Anyone able to test Windows App (AKA Remote Desktop)

Yes, Windows App works fine here (MBP M1 Max).

Moonlight streaming client (latest nightly) launches but will not find any hosts for some reason.

Steam (I use the Beta update), Helium, Mullvad VPN all work properly. All the games I play via Steam that worked on Tahoe still run properly.

DriveDx working.
Crossover (Preview) working along with the same games that worked under Tahoe install.

 

[MinimeJer05]

Anyone able to check Cisco Secure Client/AnyConnect VPN? That got absolutely destroyed in a late Tahoe build for me. Not even going to dabble until that’s confirmed to work.

Has anyone tried Docker, VS Code?

You can just disable the filter, no need to uninstall:
