macOS 27 is so buggy
4 hours ago
- Users experience lag, stutter, flickering, and blank spaces in Mission Control, Stage Manager, and Spaces after updating to macOS 27 Golden Gate.
- Possible causes include incompatibility, bugs in WindowServer, and background indexing tasks after the OS update.
- Tips to improve performance: enable Reduce Transparency, disable auto-hide Dock, turn on Reduce Motion, install all macOS updates, avoid leaving videos or animations open, update problematic apps, and allow background tasks to finish.
- Author reports that enabling Reduce Transparency notably improved speed; macOS 27.0.1 did not resolve the issue, but a future update may.
- Many users have complained on forums like Apple Discussions, Reddit, and HackerNews, indicating the issue is widespread.
