Are you tired of receiving MacOS beta system software updates on your Mac? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. Read on to learn how to switch from MacOS Beta and start receiving only stable software updates on your Mac.
Exiting MacOS Beta
If you have installed a macOS beta profile, your Mac will continue to get beta software updates until you change the settings. Here’s how to stop receiving MacOS beta system software updates:
- Click on the Apple menu and go to System Preferences.
- Select “App Store” from the setting options.
- Under the App Store settings, look for “Your computer is set to receive beta software updates” and click the “Change” button.
- In the pop-up window, select the “Don’t show beta software updates” option.
- Close System Preferences.
It’s important to note that this option will not appear by default on a Mac unless the beta profile is initially installed on macOS through either public beta or developer beta programs.
Also, preventing MacOS beta software updates doesn’t remove any software, remove beta software, or upgrade to another operating system. If you want to switch back from the macOS Mojave beta, you’ll need to manually upgrade to the stable software update.
Receiving Beta MacOS Software Updates
If you choose to start receiving beta software updates again after disabling it, you’ll need to run the MacOS Beta Software Access Utility again, either downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or the Apple Public Beta registration site. Running MacOS Beta Access reinstalls the macOS beta profile and allows beta updates to install either via the Mac App Store or the Software Update system panel, depending on your macOS version.
