Apple is introducing a new method of applying software updates with basic functionality in macOS Monterey and wider support in macOS Ventura. Going forward, you may see this notification in the top-right corner of your Mac:
If you click the Options button, you'll be given three choices:
- Install
Attempts to install the update immediately. - Try Tonight
Your Mac will queue the update and attempt to run it overnight. Please connect your Mac to a power source for best results. - Remind Me Tomorrow
Silences the notification until tomorrow. By default, you'll be given 5 deferrals for any given update before it will be automatically installed.
This new framework gives users more flexibility by encouraging them to run the updates as soon as convenient, including scheduling them to run overnight. Always remember that you can run your updates manually anytime and you may still receive nudges when new patches are released.
