Good morning to all,

After some re installs to solve some problems it's all solved except 2, I have again PreBoot at boot, and no matter what I do I can't disable the guest user that I didn't turn on... how do I solve this problems?

The problem of painful slowness was caused by CleanMyMac X, I removed it and all is well again... 

Thanks

PS: I have installed Intel Power Gadget but this time it didn't solve the PreBoot issue ...

If BS Beta 5 is the same as Public Beta 2, the update should be about 12GB

That’s the case @sonicthehedgehog2 if you are downloading BS in Catalina but if you are checking updates within BS it will be an incremental update. I read that in a previous post made by a colleague here. I also downloaded BS full installer in Catalina and created the USB installation media but when trying to pick the existing BS drive for installation it wouldn’t allow stating that I need a firmware update. Strange? Does anyone knows the reason for these 2 issues that I’m dealing with (incremental update failing to complete download and BS USB installer message telling that a firmware update is required when trying to select the existing BS driven)?

Hi @eSaF, @SavageAUS,

I have googled Removal of guest account, and applied one suggestion, after replying to you guys I'll reboot and see it worked, after that I search feedback assistant.

I have downloaded the dmg from apple store and updated from beta 2 to beta 5 with it, and the guest account only appeared in beta 5, in beta 2 I didn't have guest account active nor PreBoot...

 

@SavageAUS,

My brightness slider is greyed out but only in beta 5, in beta 2 was working ...

Hi @MorenoAv my friend, about Preboot, try install and reboot, and uninstall again this program, and will show up your hard drive name. Works fine, is from @chris1111 GitHub developer.

With some expectancy I am hoping the next Beta update will drop between now and Monday with more bug fixes and less quirks in operation, but hey it's Apple so wishing and hoping is all I can do. :lol:

Maybe Tuesday, This is a holiday weekend in the states.

Yeah @eSaF,

Maybe that is the solution for all, but google is our friend, when is not stealing our shirt with the other hand and I found a solution, in a Mac Rumors forum, a command in terminal "sudo dscl . -delete /Users/Guest" and voilá account removed.

That solved all my remaining issues, I hope it stays that way, until the next update and beyond... 

Thanks for all the help guys...

I'm confused. Your screen shows the guest account in a disabled state. Then, via CLI, you deleted the already disabled guest account. So were you looking for a way to remove the guest account that macOS installs by default during the initial setup?

Yeah I know sounds crazy... but no the account was disabled in users and groups, and it still was in initial screen... with that command it's gone... 

The users and groups is as shown below ... 

 

PS: I didn't know that macOS installs an guest account by default during the initial setup, but if it was that, the users and groups never indicated it...

Yes but I've got 4 computers to update, one of which is an unsupported iMac 27" 2012, so easier to download once.

 

Were you offered 20A5364e or 20A5364i ?

Beta 5 download via Developer Beta Access in Catalina 10.15.6 then create installation USB drive and install beta 5.

 

No, there were no suggestions to choose from.

yes I have 11.3 link ... beta 6

 

Anddd is done, updated to BS beta 6...

But was weird one more time, the first update was only 3.5 GB after downloading it, it gave an error, after that appeared an update with 11.3 GB, after download appeared an supplemental update that didn't download nothing, after that reboot and installation, that went smooth and fast ...
