Using update from system settings, then at least ten minutes and five restarts later...

(this also included the Safari update)

Updated to latest and then blocked Apple update url with hosts so I don't see Tahoe notification on the Mac Pro 😀

If you want the Automatic Security responses you are blocking those as well, alas.
Two solutions:
time to time unblock it and let the security system to update
Or use a terminal command that @bogdanw shared

Code: (one line)

sudo defaults write /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileAsset.plist MobileAssetAssetAudience -string Go-Away-Tahoe

To revert/delete Go-Away-Tahoe, run
Code:

sudo defaults delete /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileAsset.plist MobileAssetAssetAudience

Appreciate that but im good.

This is a production machine, even tho I'm online a lot its mostly for work 🙂

Hosts works ok for me

Less than half the time going from 15.7.8 to 15.7.9 than the previous update did ten days ago. Just as many restarts, though.

My Studio was not seeing the 15.7.9 update, so I used the example @bogdanw posted in post #94, downloaded the .pkg, and installed 15.7.9. No issues so far.

My M4 Mac mini updated last night to v15.7.9 from v15.7.7 without issue. Did so through Software Update where it appeared, along with a dreaded update to v26.6 which I carefully avoided.

Well pooh! 🙂 That version did not pop up when using the Terminal command you listed in post 94. Perhaps I need to wait a day or so?

edit: 15.8 just showed up in General/Software Update. I am on the Sequoia Beta Channel.

Apple may not release the full installer right away. Sometimes it takes days, this time it was in the same day 🙂
