With Beta 3 all was fine, and my Mac Studio booted in seconds. After typing in the password it would zip almost straight to the desktop and all was working fine.
I updated to Beta 4, and now I type in my password, and it takes a good 80 seconds to get to the desktop. The process stops at around 60%, 10 seconds in. Then it sits there for 70 seconds and then gets into the desktop and all is fine.
"Obviously" a login item is slowing it all down, and it wasn't before.
Things I have tried already;
- I disabled all the Login Items, including all the Background ones, and the issue is still present.
- I tried creating a new account on the Mac Studio, but that account had the long boot issue as well.
- When booting in Safe Mode, the issue is NOT there. It is a slow boot for sure, but it is actually faster than when I boot normally. Hence, I am sure the issue is related to a login item.
- I disconnected all peripherals, and the long boot is still present.
As we don't really have Verbose mode anymore, I can't easily check what is causing the stop/start in the boot sequence...
Anyone?
