Stay on Top of macOS Updates
Many people delay updates because they don’t want to restart or are worried that something might break or change too much.
Apple’s updates always ship with purpose; they contain the kind of security patches, performance improvements, and power management optimizations necessary to keep things running smoothly and securely.
If you ignore updates for months, you miss those upgrades. That’s when strange things can start happening.
Needless to say, it’s important to keep your Mac up to date. This is how:
- Click the Apple menu (Apple logo) in the top left corner of your screen.
- Go to System Settings.
- On the left sidebar, click on General.
- Go to Software Update.
If a software update is available, click Update Now. Additionally, you can click the i icon next to Automatic Updates and enable all available options, allowing your Mac to automatically install future software updates without requiring your intervention.
