Re: Finder Not Responding


 

Jim,

Yes, that is the case unless you have file vault activated. File vault causes the Mac to take?over 5 min to boot. This isn't a problem on a normal work day but when you're on call the person calling you gets impatient waiting for your Mac to boot. I usually shutdown my Mac on Friday's since unless I'm on call I don't need to use it on the weekends.?

I do agree that they shouldn't be able to alter the OS in the recovery partition.?

1. This Mac has the operating system (macOS 12.0 or later) installed on its own read-only partition. The company probably CAN NOT alter stuff there, and certainly SHOULD NOT. So an OS repair from a Recovery System boot should be fine.

2. This machine should only take maybe 20 seconds to go from power-on/cold boot to the login screen, so I would (and for my M1 Mac, I *do*) shut it down overnight, rather than just putting it to sleep. It may *need* to do some of the housekeeping that happens during the machine start-up.
