mac os ventura

Updated to mac os ventura today, for the photos app (remove duplicate), and iphone can be used as mac webcam.

Before the upgrade, checked the parallel desktip website that PD17 also supports Ventura.

After the upgrade, found some issues:

0. The OS startup becomes slower so the user has chance to close the auto lock script. I need to auto login and then lock the OS to run some backgroud tasks.

1. Cannot set the scheduled start time/shutdown time from energy center. Although it seems it can set through command line and my previous setting is still available.


2. To enter recovery mode, Command+R doesn't work any more. Can trigger it by keep pressing the power button (for mac mini m1). The option is better but it's even better to keep the previous way.

3. Time machine cannot restore to the previous OS any more. It's a big downgrade.

4. After upgrade to Ventura, I verified PD17.1.4 worked well and then upgraded PD to PD17.1.5. The auto login cannot work as expected after the upgrade. Luckily I have the PD17.1.4 time machine backup. After revert to PD17.1.4, the auto login works well.




5. Also, my Ventura cannot show the bluetooth battery level, from the control center or the bluebooth settings.


As a pro developer, the lession is that the users should not upgrade unless they have no option. The product is added a lot of functions because a lot of reason, the root cause maybe not for the user, but for the product manager, the developer and the company.
