Y’all might want to wait this one out.

45 minutes and counting. ?


I had it hanging like that too for quite a long time. I force restarted it, redownloaded and the second time it installed without stalling.

Hopefully this fixes the external USB drives disconnecting constantly

Current workaround is to use amphetamine.app to force wake them every 5 seconds

The bug where the mouse cursor is not changing form based on what it's hovering over, is still not fixed.
This has been a thing in MacOS (and OS X) for decades...
Happens in Windows too, but less frequently for sure. But I think what you mean, in Electron based apps it has since Sonoma been more common to see the text selection pointer instead of the arrow pointer when doing a right-click in a text to bring up the contextual menu.
